Anonymous Plans to Destroy Facebook on November 5

Anonymous group declares their operation of destroying the popular social-networking site on November 5th.

The Anonymous, an online hacktivist clan, has been known for attacking large company websites and taking down personal accounts owned by government officials, banks, and even religious groups. And now, it seems that the world’s greatest hackers have already set their next target: The social networking giant, Facebook.

According to what has been delivered in Anonymous’ video:

We are Anonymous. We wish to get your attention hoping you heed the warnings as follows. Your medium of communication you all so dearly adore will be destroyed. If you’re a willing activist or a guy who just wants to protect the freedom of information then join the cause and kill Facebook for the sake of your own privacy. Facebook has been selling information to government agencies and giving clandestine access to information security firms so they can spy on people from all around the world.

Though the statements seem to be too creepy, some people are still doubtful regarding this issue, since they believe that Facebook has been one of the most secured social-networking sites to date. Due to its use of MySQL, it can utilize bulks that could put strains on its servers. Aside from that, the site is agreed to be safe knowing that it has been used by many mobile devices.

As announced by Anonymous, the Facebook operation is set for November 5, 2011. See the video below.
