Hacker Group Anonymous Vows To Destroy Facebook On November 5

[Linuxfever]

Hacktivist group Anonymous, which has been responsible for cyber-attacks on the Pentagon, News Corp, and others, has vowed to destroy Facebook on November 5th (which should ring a bell).

Citing privacy concerns and the difficulty involved in deleting a Facebook account, Anonymous hopes to "kill Facebook," the "medium of communication [we] all so dearly adore."

This isn't the first time Anonymous has spoken out against social networks.
After Google removed Anonymous' Gmail and Google+ accounts, Anonymous pledged to create its own social network, called AnonPlus.

Apparently not all of them :

Hacker Plot to ‘Kill Facebook’ Is All a Terrible Misunderstanding

The internet is quaking with the news that the hacktivist collective Anonymous plans to "destroy" Facebook on November 5th. We spoke to the Anonymous member who was there at the start of "Operation Facebook," and he told us the whole thing is a misunderstanding that's spiraled crazily out of control.

[.............]

After a stunning burst of media coverage, a number of popular Anonymous twitter accounts and news sources distanced themselves from Operation Facebook, claiming it was a hoax. But the truth is more complicated than that. It turns out there once was an Anonymous "Operation Facebook." It was dedicated not to destroying the site but raising awareness about its privacy practices. The current panic springs from some overeager hacktivists and media stumbling over the remnants of that abandoned operation and spinning it into a dastardly plot to destroy Facebook.

They will never manage to bring Facebook down..not even for 10 seconds..We aren't talking about a simple site here. Facebook has a serious developing team behind it. it's a madness just thinking about it.

 

[jamescv7]

Yes, and I know that Facebook Team will not made a site just to hack unlike the other sites which are easily hack.

Most of the sites hacked by Anonymous are simple site used to communicate with the general public.........Why isn't Anonymous trying to hack Google,Youtube or Facebook ?? A: because they can't do that.... DDoS-ing a site which has only 1 server is easy....

 

[jamescv7]

Understood, so even they hack the one server then the rest are not affected.
