Today there is a lot buzz on twitter about the arrests of hacker groups Sabu and LulzSec and many people are talking about Anonymous as well. Now, personally, I don't really know the deal on Sabu and LulzSec, but I do know that Anonymous (remember my other post on Anonymous??? (http://junawesley.blogspot.com/2012/01/anonymous.html)) is seemingly NOT involved with these hackers, and is even said to be beyond them. This is good news if it is true. Anonymous and other hacker groups are not necessarily bad (unless they are stealing or something), in fact many of them are called Hacktivists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacktivism), including Wikileaks. Of course it is my opinion when I say that they are not bad and to tell you the truth, I support Anonymous. I think that they are a very interesting group (even though they state that they are not a group) and I think that Hacktivism is a interesting and cool way to protest. Anonymous and Wikileaks are sure on to something too. They know things about the U.S. Government and are trying to spread their messages and info through the web.
But, on the flip side, some theories state that Wikileaks and Anonymous are actually run by the F.B.I, releasing false information throughout the web. Personally, I don't really buy into this one... anyways, here is a very good link to check out: http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/179764/anonymous-has-grown-beyond-lulzsec-and-sabu/
Whether or not you support Anonymous and other Hacktivists, it's still worth a look. For some weird reason, Wikileaks seems to have been wiped from the main-stream media and blogs. I haven't even seen any recent updates... this makes me suspicious...
Stay sharp viewers!
