Anonymous and Team Poison united under the name p0isAnon and declared war on the financial institutions they claim are interfering too much in the Occupy protests. Robin Hood is the name of the new operation, in which they plan on taking credit cards and donating them to the “99 percent” and charities worldwide.

“In regards to the recent demonstrations and protests across the globe, we are going to turn the tables on the banks. Operation Robin Hood is going to return the money to those who have been cheated by our system and most importantly to those hurt by our banks,” reads a video statement.

The newly formed alliance claims they already started the mission, the first victims being Chase, Bank of America and Citibank.

“We have donated thousands to many protests around the world. We have donated thousands to the homeless and other charities. Our government has fallen short in many ways.”

Besides the open declaration of war against banks, Operation Robin Hood is another opportunity for the hacktivists to urge people to move their money into “secure credit unions.”

Just like the legendary hero, they claim this operation will make the “villains” pay for every injustice they committed when they turned down people or left them homeless.

“We are not afraid of the Police, Secret Service, or the FBI. We are going to show you banks are not safe and take our money back. We are going to hit the true evil while not harming theirs customers and helping others,” p0isAnon claims.

This guys love to be loved by the people...........and this time this should also be fun....... I can bet that the FBI can kill 'Anonymous' in less then 48 hours if they become a real threat for the financial institutions but that's not really the case here....
What they can Anonymous do ? DDoS a bank public site ,which will take him down for a few hours and...and that's about it......
BTW when they say : ' Robin Hood is the name of the new operation, in which they plan on taking credit cards' ... from where exactly will they get them because credit cards usually belong to regular people....

Operation Robin Hood: Chargebacks Won’t Stop Us

After many voices in the media claimed that their operations wouldn’t work because the banks they targeted would initiate chargebacks to recover the money fraudulently taken from them, the hacker groups behind Operation Robin Hood came forward with a statement.

They claim that they’re highly aware of the fact that there will be chargebacks, but they expect them to be “minimal.” Also, since many were wondering to which charities they will donate the loot, they wanted to clarify this aspect of the operation.

“Now which Charities/Shelters do we plan on donating this money to? Of course the ones that keep 15% for themselves and are un-honest. Do you really think we'd do this to ones who are non profit? Not at all,” reads their statement.

When it comes to the credit cards they will steal, they state that they’re not targeting debit cards and nothing below the level of BoFA, CitiBank or Chase cards.

“Does this mean we target Classic Cards? No. Other banks? No. We have no intentions of even selling the data we have unlike others who would have profit intentions of using it to make BANK (MILLIONS) in for themselves. We are only doing under $1,000 at a time which helps quite a lot of people in that area. You banks: Need to stop whining and start to up your security.”

Finally, they warn people that no matter how many promises they make, e-commerce websites are very vulnerable. They claim that even the Verified by Visa certification can be easily bypassed, many “foreigners” selling information on how to do that for only a couple of dollars.

Operation Robin Hood: Not All Credit Unions Should Be Trusted (Exclusive)

If at first they claimed that their goal was to make people move their money from banks to credit unions, the hacktivists behind Operation Robin Hood came to the conclusion that not all the credit unions should be trusted. To make sure they correctly advise people on what to do, they are now searching for financial institutions that really know how to protect their customers.
