PayPal, Symantec Hacked In Anonymous November 5 Hacking Spree

Posted by samzenpus on from the history-repeating dept.

New submitter Journe writes "Anonymous claims to have begun a hacking spree for the 5th of November. In their spree, they've laid waste to several Australian Government sites, and, for some reason, the site of Saturday Night Live. They also claim to have leaked VMware source code, along with user and employee info from Paypal and Symantec. There's some argument however that Anonymous is falsely taking claim for Symantec."

    Actually, no. With drone strikes, there is a public command and control structure that can be held accountable. They are not "anonymous people", but rather publicly known, elected officials.

    All of Anonymous hides, therefore they are chicken-shit and douchy, just like you.
