Anonymous: Facebook “Attack” A Joke

You may have noticed that Facebook was having intermittent issues last night. You may have even thought that Anonymous was behind it. Well, you’re probably wrong.

It’s true that Facebook, which rarely has any issues, was having trouble loading for some users last night. It’s also true that Anonymous made a comment about it via their Twitter account.

Anonymouscough cough, uh, looks like http://t.co/NhcgztAZ is having a slight accessibility problem. #Anonymous 11 hours ago via TweetDeck · powered by @socialditto

What makes it even incriminating is that they make a second post right after saying that Facebook is back up. It almost sounds like a test run for their supposed attack on Facebook on January 28.

Some sites ran with the story claiming that Anonymous was attacking Facebook, which prompted Anonymous to come clear with their intentions. Facebook wasn’t attacked and Anonymous was just trolling everybody for some “lulz.”

Once again, we must stress that it’s hard to tell what is official or not when it comes to Anonymous. As far as we’re concerned though, @YourAnonNews is the official Anonymous twitter account that’s accountable for the majority of the group’s actions.

The group finished up by giving some advice to journalists who may want to cover their attacks in the future.

Dave HallDear journalists, when @YourAnonNews reports a site down from an #Anonymous sanctioned #DDoS, they will use the phrase “X is tango down”. 11 hours ago via TweetDeck · powered by @socialditto
