NATO Report Threatens To 'Persecute' Anonymous

Posted by Roblimo on 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.'"

      I think the phrase Anonymous likes to use is "pissing in an ocean of piss."

    I think his parents named him after consulting once of those "What's your Star Wars name?" pages.

    Why don't anon just topple the jerks in Georgia for fun? Then? On to the criminal regime in Bahrain!
