If there was not a whole lot truth to this story, Symantec will be hit with the biggest lawsuit ever. I presume it is still forbidden by law to print false information. I can't help but wonder if any supporter of Annonymouse, who has read this story, still is a supporter.

Do you think the Anonymous supporters have realized the truth of things? That they do not matter to Anonymous except for how they can be used for Anonymous' own ends. That they were duped into being unwilling pawns in someone else's game.

Attention Anonymous supporters: You're support of these children/criminals is fool-hearty, and down-right stupid. If you have a beef with someone, voice it, take action, do what you want; but do it yourself. Have you ever heard that a criminal never really has a trusted friend? These criminal children who call them selves Anonymous have chosen such a monicker because they want to be left alone; as they always are, to play their games. Your support is only welcomed to the point of how they can USE you.
always be just.

It is well known to security experts that Anon has for some time been trying to gain control of one or more botnets.

Failing that, their logical next move would be to rent the use of such, with misdirection of the sort here alleged serving as payment-in-kind.

Might be RIAA and MPAA money behind these sneaky tactics to make Anonymous LOOK BAD ! And there is no evidence to support either theory !

Which is the more likely by far?

Which is known to have motive, means, and opportunity?

Hint: It's not RIAA and MPAA.

WRONG I WILL CORRECT YOUR INCORRECT STATEMENT ( after it might have just been a typo)

about 90% of the hacked accounts in the last year on the "pirate bay" has been paid by the RIAA and MPAA !

In re. motive, means and opportunity, it is crystal clear to all but the deaf and blind that Anon is known to have all, as clearly evidenced by their self-admitted deeds.

For the others, all you've got is pure speculation.

Really?
It was clear to all but the Blind, Deaf and Dumb that Vietnam was a justified war.
..That is until it was revealed years later that the attack in the Gulf Of Tonkin was actually a US created and run False Flag operation to get Americans behind the government’s desire to enter the war.

And it was very clear to all but the Blind, Deaf and Dumb that there is no such thing as "The Mafia"; it’s just a conspiracy theory and J. Edgar Hoover had said so!
..That is until a few years later when the truth about Organized Crime could no longer be covered up and so even government had to eventually admit that the mafia was real. Just Google if it you don’t believe it; that previously under J Edgar Hoovers rule the FBI and government said that the mafia was just a conspiracy theory. I bet you thought “Conspiracy Theory” was something relatively new .

And it was beyond a shadow of doubt obvious to every man, woman and child in the known universe that there was no such thing as “The Bilderberg Group” or “The Bilderberg Meeting” in which the elite of this world, the rich and powerful and royalty along with heads of state would gather to discuss and set global polices.
...At least it was obvious until a year or so ago when some rogue news station (an independently owned station that was not forced to report only what those at the top say is OK) decided to break with the mainstream media policy of not reporting on the event, too its cameras to this meeting and caught it on tape including who many of the attendees are. For years all the so called News outlets denied such a meeting even existed let alone who attended and now they are forced to come clean and so they try to downplay the event instead of outright denying it.

It’s amazing how what is obvious today turns out very different tomorrow.

You try to make a logical argument but it fails to stand up because the reality is that the SU Federal Government is not beyond any act against any groups of people if it means furthering the agenda of more power and control over the people. And what better way to amass said power and control then thru fear? Fear of the terrorists hiding around every plane flight, train terminal and bus stop. Fear of an unknown entity of hackers that any group of persons can easily assume the identity of in order to act without repercussion.

If you can’t see how the government would use the “Anonymous” identity to spread fear amongst the masses then it is you who is blind, deaf and dumb.

You continue to demonstrate a great difficulty in distinguishing between fact and opinion, and understanding that the latter is not the equal of the former.

In other threads you made the specious claim that the mere appearance of a Facebook or Twitter image stood to evidence that they are tracking you on that page, a claim that was easily put to rest simply by examining the source code of such. You were asked to support your claim; you declined to respond. This serves to demonstrate that you are given to groundless speculation, and are unwilling to admit when you are in error.

Here you continue to ignore the fact that Anon is known to possess motive, means and opportunity for engaging in the act in question. You also continue to ignore the fact that no other is known to have means and opportunity.

Your protestations to the contrary do not suffice for lending credence to your unsubstantiated paranoia.

All of which is merely an attempt at deflection by misdirection, none of which have any material relevance to the matter of who here is, by virtue of their own words and deeds, known to have motive, means and opportunity.

What do the preponderance of known facts point to?

What does the total absence of facts to support your speculation point to?

I've been watching you make a fool of yourself, thread after thread, post after post, by making blatantly false statements and wild speculations, and then turning argumentative when rebutted.

You have become no more than a common troll.
