Hollywood couldn't write a better script than this. A Mexican cartel has been given an ultimatum by a group of sophisticated computer hackers: release a captive hacker or risk public release of the names, photos, and addresses of cartel-friendly individuals.
The hacker group, known simply as Anonymous, have given the cartel the deadline of November 5th, which makes sense, given their love of the film and graphic novel V for Vendetta, and their penchant for wearing Guy Fawkes masks. Some people claim the attack is a hoax or have suggested that it has been called off. The group has previously attacked scientology, Paypal, and, more recently, Child Pornography websites.
Hmm, my money is on the cartels. These crazy fuckers drop bodies off by the dozens, in broad daylight, on busy streets. I just don't know how much cyber warfare could hurt them in the long run. Now of course, if Anonymous recruited the Juggaloes as enforcers....
