Anonymous To Attack Facebook In Support Of MegaUpload?

1:56 p.m. · January 23, 2012 · by Andrew Martin

We know of at least one group that wasn't happy when the feds closed down file-sharing giant MegaUpload last week: hacker community Anonymous. Within just a few hours, they responded in kind and shut down the websites for the Justice Department, MPAA, RIAA, and Universal Music Group. Those sites were nothing compared to Anonymous' apparent next target.

If the video below proves to be legit, they're planning to take down the biggest social networking site on the planet. Of course, I'm referring to Facebook. It's not clear exactly why they're going after the site, but we do know it's an apparent move to show they're against the closure of MegaUpload. Expect shit to (possibly) go down on Jan. 28.
