Drug war: Anonymous does what the US cant /will not?

Because they are not really anonymous, they are people, that is how they incur danger.

I like Anonymous, I think we should be their allies, those of us that choose to. For instance, wouldn't it be nice to have all of the dea and drug task force member names and addresses? We could get them busted, we could get their kids busted, we could get their wives busted, and that would start to fuck with them pretty fast. That is just one way, there are many ways to fuck with them if we know who they are.

Salute the Hackers!

They've made lots of claims, on much larger targets...this isn't a pissing match, I would actually like to see them do some real damage...something other than simple DoS to something other than nickle n dime sites.

They were going to take down 'Wall Street'...remember?


they took down the pay child porn (and posted the info of the subscribers) site like was mentioned but ALSO took down the Oakland Police site down after brutaility against protestors

to the person who said 'i doubt the cartels have hackers'......ha

Do you have a vague idea how much value rides within these organizations? I'd bet my balls each major cartel has quite a strong team of computer wizards to take care of things for them.

Can't really criticize anonymous for this. One of them, their family, has been kidnapped. They want him/her back. Maybe some of them pay dearly, but if they don't try, their friend is dead anyway.

computer wizards? lol im a fucking computer whiz, still not a goddamn hacker though. anonymous isn't just script kiddies as evidenced by the hacks on BOA and Sony have shown. and also anynymous is just that, anonymous as is any and every serious hacker, i dunno who these guys were that were busted but they are not the real guys behind the hacks. i have known real hackers and used to move in the circles. you don't catch hackers that easily if they're good and these guys are good. they seem good anyway been out of the scene a while. if the mexican cartel does have hackers i doubt they are as good as anonymous. if they were the cartel would just rob banks instead of bullshittin around with growing weed.

real hackers rob banks to the tunes of millions a day without getting caught. you hear about em once in a while. like the guy who got caught in the credit card scam. he stole millions before they ever even caught up.

So they kill the one who has been kidnapped... the hackers release the information on hundreds of people on payroll... sounds like an easy equation to solve if you are the Zetas. Give the geek back and don't have your enemies including Mexican military, police, and other cartels hunting your employees and their families.

The only way the cartel could get at Anonymous is having special agents provacateur infiltrate IRC chatrooms and shit.. would take awhile... But if they started turning some nerds to the darkside they could expand their business opportunities. Identity fraud, etc, fits right in with their operational needs. If they could get at fingerprint databases, interpol networks, etc etc... The counterintel alone would pay for itself a hundredfold, and what if they could alter fingerprint records so their money launderers wouldn't have to have their toepads sewn to their fingertips... so gross.

Supposedly an informant high in a cartel said they had already done something to the border cameras...

Other than that they're only getting info from domain name registration... and moles in the FBI

Decriminalize all drugs like Portugal did and this problem pretty much goes away.

DEcrim wont make this go away. Decrim still has all supply and dealing illegal, and under the control of the same fucks who run it everywhere else.
Lets not be naive either... even if legal dope shops opened up, you really think the local "Legitimate buisnessmen" arent going to use their usual methods to take shares or full control of these buisnesses.
Im sure some of the dope shops in rougher areas must be paying "Insurance" money, just like the hot dog sellers, and the booze shops have to.

i wonder if it is even the main anonymous group, lots of posers, lots of forks and splinters as well, i would not at all be surprised if the announcement was made by zero "members" of anonymous even....a ploy to get the cartel pissed off at a troublesome group of hackers maybe? it's all a big soap opera...

Plenty of them have been busted and had family addresses published, it is really hard to believe they would be so stupid, if the Feds get them, 20 years or life in jail, when the Mexicans get them and their families..... Messy.

Reading up about it, it seems that their first DDOS tools the Anon hackers gave out to the script kiddies in Anon left tracks and they are all getting done. Also, what was once thought to be anonymous hacking that leaves no trace, is no longer safe.... National Security and all that... That whole scene is meant to be utterly rooted by Feds and a lot of Hackers they turned to working Snitches.

Los Zetas are born from Mexico's Special Forces Operators trained by guess who? USA Special Forces operators.

By far the most violent and I bet most efficient and organized cartel.

Again, we train our enemy's to eventually destroy them. War is good for the Empire.

Anonymous may have bit a bit much off this time, but I like these guys. Take's blood and guts to take on the systemic corruption. I mean that quite literally.

There's a war out there.
