Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it. The international hacker community is preparing to strike against U.S. infrastructure and calls for public awareness against incoming fascism
Anytime I see something about “Anonymous” I just assume it’s some kind of fed psyop until proven otherwise.
So you’ll go to your grave believing it because all the proof in the world will just be fake news
In this case? Yeah, probably. If there was proof of their identity they would no longer be anonymous, would they?
It’s a much more reasonable assumption than how your lot assumes anyone who disagrees with you for any reason is a Russian bot, and can’t be convinced by any amount of proof otherwise.

I will believe it when I see it this is likely just talk.
Anonymous, if you are going to do it, PLEASE make sure to leave the innocent people alone and go after the rich assholes that are doing this.
Other than that, here’s my axe, go wild
No one is innocent here.
Go vandalize Tom Tillis’ website. That’ll be your first test.
Here is my 4 laptops, loaded up loic, give me ip, we roll
slow loris was a lot better that loic… i heard…
Then do it
Aren’t they kind of notorious for empty promises?
Its more of a chaos entity. Because anyone can be a part of it with literally no steps other than saying “I am Anonymous”, anyone can say or do anything. As a result, one person or group may claim Anonymous while doing a legitimate hack, while another person who is just a script kiddie won’t ever actually do anything and you get this hot and cold, will they won’t they effect as a result.
Sounds like ISIS. Lots of people claiming to be members.
Getting attention is a big part of it
Hacker fashion tip: while wearing your guy fox mask, match it with a Luigi hat.
The Guy Faux mask is so 2005.
This guy fawks
I don’t know if you guys are on purpose but it’s Fawkes. It would be amazing if three people really had different spellings of the same Guy…
I think the guy you’re thinking of Fox Mulder
Whoooooossshh
Just brush the Funyun crumbs off of your shirt before starting.
Can they do something useful like destroy the debt infrastructure and delete all student loans and medical bills?
Spoiler
You’ve been watching too much Mr. Robot.
Tap for spoiler
Or fight club
A more useful thing would be to do as much damage to Twitter as possible. In fact, why they haven’t attacked Twitter while Musk has been disarming all of its safety protocols is fucking beyond me.
Attacking twitter would be more useful than deleting all debt? I mean go wild, take that shit ass site down but if you had a “delete twitter” button and a “delete all debt” button, mashing the second one would make you the greatest hero who ever lived.
Debt is monitored/store by many different companies
Even if you took down all data of x health insurance company it would still exist in other places
So I would say that it poses a bigger challenge and you would have to do it at roughly the same time
Sure. Yeah its very hypothetical and silly. As if the Banks that manage national and international money supplies, since most of their managed assets are debt, haven’t thought of it? So no such button exists, whereas there might be a delete twitter button somewhere or one could be rigged up 👀
You’re right, What if they publish cheat codes for all Steam games, thus freeing humanity from corporate exploitation???!!!
Is such a utopia possible?
If enough freedom fighters have the guts to post enough memes, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.
Anonymous tends to not do useful things. They just talk a lot.
“Anonymous” isn’t like a formal group. The entire point is that anyone can say that they are anonymous. So yeah, people talk a lot. You can do whatever you like as anonymous.
mostly they are spending hours scrolling through social media accounts of certain types of people looking for dox materials. that’s really about it
I’m sure backups and redundancies are “inefficient” since “everything is in the cloud, anyway”.
My final semester in American Sign Language was “Sex, Drugs, and Profanity,” and most of the signs are just exactly what you’d guess. (I held on to those textbooks.) Plus, facial expressions are a big part of the grammar of the language. I don’t recognize this scene, but assuming it’s from a comedy - it’s probably also not far off from accurate.
It’s from the 1982 film Airplane 2: the Sequel. Nowhere near as funny as the original, but still very funny.
This is kinda what trump wants. If the government cant handle “online stuff” they can pitch privatization. It hurts more if tech megacorps get hacked. Though at this point I wou’d laugh if a bunch of internet nerds got the nuclear codes or locked up a bunch of satellites
If the government cant handle “online stuff” they can pitch privatization.
It kind of already is privatized. Most of the government’s cyber security efforts are handled by defense contractors.
CISA actually monitored Internet traffic and would contact government entities (local, schools, universities, etc) when they were being attacked. I went to a talk once where they said they usually had response times in minutes, and it would take longer to figure out who they needed to alert and convince them that it was real. Now that CISA is gutted I would expect more and worse breaches in the future.
Imagine if one nuclear head was pointed to every megacorp headquarters in the US.
Ceo residences would do better. Force them all to live in the office hellscape they created.
Tomorrow
Trump: By executive order, I dismantle the computer warfare and defence division
Musk: It doesn’t exist anymore!
The day after
Anonymous: They turned off their service that sanitized all inputs. We just stole everything from every department, and put cats on every governments webpage.
“The government had both server and client side validation, which is totally wasteful and inefficient! I removed both and may the best one win!”
Elmo, DOGE
By all means do. It’s not like much of value is lost at this point.
It’ll take 40 years to fix the damage he’ll do in 4.
I don’t think 4 years of accelerated climate damage is gonna be fixed in 40 years…
That assumes that we have a party interested in fixing anything.
President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho will be interested.
At least he found the smartest person on the planet and immediately put him in charge.
Ikr. Doing that with the richest man instead does not seem to have the same effect.
I’m all for attacking infra - we need to make this shit more resilient and we need to transition to memory-safe langs like Rust. This will hopefully accelerate it. Also, I lol at people saying Trump/Elon/Doge will destroy the US when in reality - these kinds of people who wanna attack it probably have way better chances to do so.
