Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it - News Cafe

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

Aren’t they kind of notorious for empty promises?

Can they do something useful like destroy the debt infrastructure and delete all student loans and medical bills?

Hacker fashion tip: while wearing your guy fox mask, match it with a Luigi hat.

I will believe it when I see it this is likely just talk.

Anytime I see something about "Anonymous" I just assume it's some kind of fed psyop until proven otherwise.

Then do it

Exploit it you say? Please get in line behind the russians, the chinese snd pretty much all arab countries

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

Anything supposedly said by "Anonymous" as a hacker group should always be treated with immense skepticism.

There do exist somewhat legitimate sub-factions that actually take serious actions and do serious ops, and also semi-legitimate "outlets" for their statements... but there's also an overwhelming amount of smokescreen bullshit "anon news outlets" and little script kiddies running around. It's important/intentional that those continue existing as smoke screen for the more "serious" factions.

Beyond that, being an anonymous group with no real methods of confirming membership to outsiders (insiders can just check if you're in the private IRCs and etc) it means that just about anyone and everyone can make some big declaration like this. The proof will be in the results, not some announcement that could be made by a rando.

All that said, there's convincing and considerable evidence (collected by Krebs) that members of Elon's DOGE group have background in the actual hacking ops spaces.

No matter who is really making these threats/warnings, I think things are going to get pretty dire in the US government IT space. It's been well known for decades that most government orgs have absolutely abysmal cyber security, and now you have a bunch of young adult tech-bros with no true accountability running roughshod over all of it. Then there's the fact that more than one of them have "serious black hat hacker" backgrounds.

Going to be one wild ride.

By all means do. It's not like much of value is lost at this point.

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.

Ah, Anonymous—the digital equivalent of a fart in a hurricane. Trump’s America? Weakness isn’t new—it’s baked into the propaganda circus we’ve called democracy since Reagan. You think script kiddies and Elon’s crypto-bros “hacking fascism” will fix anything? Please. The real op is watching tech oligarchs and politicians collude while we argue about which flavor of dystopia we’re slurping.

Infrastructure attacks? Bold move, Cotton. Let’s see how it works out when grandma’s dialysis machine gets bricked by some edgelord’s Python script. If you want revolution, stop fetishizing IRC nostalgia and touch grass. Until then, this is just digital graffiti on a burning trash barge.

Do it, attack America's life points directly.

They're all talk and no bite. The world needs fsociety

Well I hope they choose their targets right, otherwise it'll just make everything worse.

hack the planet

Oh wow. They'll shut down a website for a day.

Whoop-tee-doo.

Don't need to open Twitter to watch it

I'm also remembering an IT crowd scene where they argue about which of them is in Anonymous, and I can't find it now. Does anyone have a link handy? Unless I am misremembering

Hit the Government of Putin where it hurts.

If they actually gave a shit about spreading awareness, they’d find a way to get that video on Fox News, OANN, etc

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.

yeah ddos a website with your low orbit ion canons. that'll teach them for sure. q0wned. thank you

Exploit it? The EU thinks they can exploit the chaos? What are they going to do, give us universal health care, a strong safety net, consumer protections, renewable energy and TRAINNNNNNSSSSSSS? (Please, oh please)

So, they are going to hurt innocent people to save the innocent people?

How exactly does this help us? Why attack infrastructure we need to survive? So many other targets I feel would have better results.

Anonymous is bored again? Oh, okay.

"America is becoming fascist" makes me cringe.

It cannon become something that it has been for a long time. US was fascist under Clinton, Bush, Obama, first Trump admin, Biden and it keeps on the same track now. It's less than useless rallying cry when US foreing policy alone in the past 70 years is a realworld example of the thought experiment of "what would have happened if nazi-germany had won WW2". Genocide, war, coup, and dictatorship galore committed by the United States, especially after the 80s.

In the end what this narrative is about is that precarious middle class liberals fear that even more of the practices that US has been spreading around the world are now coming home and now the US government will gut it's own people instead of some foreigners. Even this isn't unprecedented and at worst Trump can only make things worse for some, but for many what they fear is already reality.

Makes me really think if this "Anonymous cell" has any real grass-roots basis or if it's just the same coup-mongers hiding behind thin leftist veneer to just jump against Trump, who they see as destructive loose cannon to their operations, not as an real opponent. Nothing new for Anonymous name being used in this way btw. Where were they under Biden?
