NATO Report Threatens To 'Persecute' Anonymous

Posted by Roblimo on Wednesday June 1, 2011 @05:17AM from the who-did-you-say-you-were? dept.

Stoobalou writes "NATO leaders have been warned that Wikileaks-loving 'hacktivist' collective Anonymous could pose a threat to member states' security, following recent attacks on the US Chamber of Commerce and defence contractor HBGary — and promise to 'persecute' its members." From the article: "In a toughly-worded draft report to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, General Rapporteur Lord Jopling claims that the loose-knit, leaderless group is 'becoming more and more sophisticated,' and 'could potentially hack into sensitive government, military, and corporate files.'"

"as anonymous as they think they are" As a bunch of 15 year olds using the same proxy to look at 4chan, I'm guessing their true anonymity is quite non-existent. On a related note, how would one go about actually being 'anonymous' on the internet? I don't think you can get 100% safety.
