DHS paranoid about Anonymous and the Sept. 17 Occupy Wall Street action?


WASHINGTON, DC – The Department of U.S. Homeland Security has issued a warning saying the hacking group Anonymous plans more attacks focused on the financial sector in coming months.

The DHS bulletion says Anonymous may “solicit ideologically dissatisfied, sympathetic employees” to aid their efforts. So-called “social engineering” of this sort is one of the dedicated hacker’s most productive tools.

Anonymous has used Twitter to attempt just such social engineering, although with apparently limited success to date.

.....(snip).....

It notes the group has planned three cyber attacks as civil protests, including the Occupy Wall Street attack scheduled for Sept. 17. ...........(more)

3. Actually.
It's about time DHS actually did it's job and go after the terrorists like Anonymous, whose only intent is to disrupt and cause panic.

Good on them.

2. Well, since Wall Street is where the real owners/operators of the country reside
...and DHS' main job, as another police group, is to protect those owners...

Of course they're worried for their masters!

15. Our founding Fathers and Mothers were terrorist!
By today's standards!
The right of the people to protest! Including disrupting supply chains, tea party (the real one!).

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security"

Corporations and CEOS are the despots.
