Spudinski Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 According to British police, a 59-year-old man has been arrested in connection with threats made against Louise Mensch MP via email and Twitter. Earlier this week, British MP Louise Mensch claimed that she had received a threat against her children from the Anonymous hacktivist group. Read more on Naked Security Ok, even though Anonymous groups were quick to remove themselves from the equation, it's quite worrying. If it is indeed just spammers, then they are trending on enemy territories. Anonymous isn't much for spam, as it is for quote "peace & freedom". I forsee a little internet based war between spammers and hackvists, but that's just my opinion. And then, why would the spammers make threats against children? This is much more high-profile than simpler "viagra/drug" spam? I wish I could see what's exactly in that email. What do you guys think?

W3Theory || Peter Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Anonymous for "peace & freedom" haha that is just funny to me. Hackers and Spammers are just all losers to me, I don't see them as people fighting for a cause but more than less they are doing it for fun. To get back at the "Man".

Spudinski Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 I agree, but their reason is pretty straight forward in my eyes. I wouldn't say hackers are losers. I'm an hacker, by definition, all programmers are. I believe they do actually have a valid cause as well. Americans in general don't get the point when it's not to value of them. Oh, and btw, if you're referring to the US as "The Man". They are so far in the dept, they're a government who fakes terror attacks just to get people to vote, their college tuition funds are higher than anywhere in the world - I wouldn't say so. There is a reason behind each of their attacks, legally it's wrong, but morally it's correct. Say someone kills your wife. Legally it would be wrong to take revenge, but morally it's correct. I'm for a free and open world, so to me Anonymous is a very good cause/collective. I stand for the same things as they do, but I'll admit, my moral code is just different. I like freedom, and would do anything do defend mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
