Anonymous Again Says it Will Not Attack Facebook on Saturday

Facebook will non be targeted by Anonymous on Saturday, the hacking group said in one of its Twitter accounts, again distancing itself from a threat that has gotten sweeping packaging since it surfaced several months ago.

"We told you many times ddosing Facebook was a fake surgical process," reads a message posted on Friday in the aggroup's AnonOps Twitter story.

The threat to "destroy" Facebook on November 5 via a DDOS (low-density denial of serve) attack originated with a video posted on YouTube in mid-July.

However, the plan was never announced in Unknown' Chirrup feeds nor on its blog, anonops.blogspot.com.

On August 10 the group aforementioned on Twitter that information technology wasn't involved in planning a Facebook plan of attack.

"WE DONT 'KILL' THE MESSENGER. THAT'S NOT OUR Panach," reads that post on the radical's AnonOps Twitter account.

In a argument released on Fri, Anonymous said the initiative against Facebook was led by an independent acting along his own, according to a Cnet write up.

This man was warned to stop promoting the attack as an Anonymous action but he pressed on, so as revenge Anonymous has released his name and tangency data, including a phone numeral, according to the Cnet article.
