Many Facebook users may have a problem with the privacy settings of the complicated social network, but not all of them want revenge by taking the network down. It is not the case of the hacker group Anonymous, which is so furious with the anti-privacy practices of Facebook who has scored at least one day in which the site will be "destroyed."
In a video posted on YouTube in the middle of last month, but only discovered yesterday, the group issued the call Operation Facebook, which is scheduled to commence on November 5. There are not many details of what they plan to do, but if the past tell the group something they most likely will conduct a DDoS attack, leaving the network unreachable for some time.
Even in the video description says the hacker group the reasons why Facebook deserves to perish, citing that they have passed information to U.S. government agencies, the fact that privacy settings are confusing and also cites the difficulty of deleting an account. All supposedly legitimate reasons for that Facebook no longer exists.
I think that disclosure of the attack ends up serving as a double-edged sword. On the one hand, hackers can get more community support for the 5th of November, but then they also end up giving them time to prepare your Facebook servers. We'll see who emerges victorious in this dispute in a few months.
