So the powerful hacktivist collective anonymous's most powerful thing is rickrolling, which for all we know could be done by hand.
Seriously.
I was hoping for some active hacking. Classic cavalry manuevers which can be done in cyber - get behind enemy lines and interdict supply, etc. These days that would be intercept email accounts, change the passwords, take down websites, etc. I suppose this move is, in a small way, doing some of that, but it seems like the brute forciest to the lamest of supporters..
Then again perhaps these guys are smart. Actual interfering could get them on watch lists and enemy lists, etc. hmm. I'll have to think on this.
