Anonymous Threatens To Take Down Xbox Live,Facebook,Youtube & Others
Sat 21 Jan 2012 - 16:10
Anonymous, the global-collective hacking group has threatened to hit
servers, including Xbox LIVE over the FBI take-down of MegaUpload.
Having already taken down websites that include those of the US
Department of Justice and Universal Music Group, demands are now being
made that if MegaUpload is not restored within 72 hours – The UN, Xbox
Live, US Bank, Capital One, twitter, facebook and YouTube will be struck down.
Megaupload is an online Hong Kong–based company that was established in
2005 offering a one-click hosting service that was riddled with online
piracy, a fault of its users and not the service provider. The site was
shut down without due process by the U.S. Justice Department on January
19th, 2012 during an investigation into alleged copyright infringement.
It’s worth noting that this has nothing to do with SOPA or PIPA which is
a completely separate issue.
MegaUpload says they’re going to fight back, as quoted by their lawyer Ira Rothken:
The company is looking at its legal options for getting back its servers
and its domain and getting its servers back up online. Megaupload will
vigorously defend itself. It is really offensive to say that just
because people can upload bad things, therefore Megaupload is
automatically responsible.
Anonymous have kick started a campaign dubbed #OpMegaUpload to get the
service restored with retaliation attacks set to take place over the new
few days.
If you sign into Xbox LIVE and it’s not available – you now know why! We
are unaware of how Microsoft are dealing with the threat.

Just think about it. Just for a week. People would need to talk to each other either in real life or at least the phone. But not now I've ordered some cloth, sunglasses and need to get my Hopsin tickets before they should do it.STRANGEgenius wrote:if they shut down the internet a revolution would start, and then we r fucked.
