Hacking Group "Anonymous" Is Making Its Own Social Network


facebook anonymous

Famed cyber-troublemakers Anonymous are taking things into their own hands after Google removed their Google+ profile and blocked their Gmail account.

In retaliation, Anonymous is starting their own social network, dubbed "AnonPlus."

In a rather grandiose manifesto on the splash page, AnonPlus.com currently reads:

"Welcome to AnonPlus. This will be your future. This will be our future. Today, we welcome you to begin anew…to watch this glorious incipience happen – one upon which you will never turn your back on. Welcome to the Revolution – a new social network where there is no fear…of censorship…of blackout…nor of holding back. Life is what you make of it – and we are making it. As you step through into the coming weeks, months, and years with us…they will know that we've arrived. There will be no more oppression. There will be no more tyranny. We are the people and we are Anonymous. We have arrived."

Was Google right to block Anonymous? Let us know in the comments!

Gawker Meeting With FBI Tomorrow About Hacking Case

FBI SWAT law enforcement

Yesterday, the New York Post reported the FBI would be visiting Gawker today.

That didn't happen, but Gawker's tech boss Tom Plunkett should meet with the FBI tomorrow at the FBI's offices, says Nick Denton over email to us.

We don't know why Gawker is meeting with the FBI.

(Apart from it having something to do with Gawker being hacked. We don't think the FBI typically meets with websites that are hacked.)

Denton speculates, "it's part of a wider investigation."

When we asked him if it was a wider investigation into hacking he said, "Dunno! Ask them!"

We've emailed the FBI and will update this post if we hear anything back.

Watch Out, Teens! 10% Of Your Parents Are Hacking In To Your Facebook Accounts

Spy Cameras from flickr

Attention, teenagers: your parents may be logging in to your Facebook account without your knowledge.

TRUSTe just released a report on privacy issues related to teens, their parents, and social networks. The most surprising result:

40% of parents said their teens had given them login access to their accounts, and another 10% said they had obtained access without their teens knowing about it.

Really? 1 in 10 parents think it's OK to spy on their kids without their knowledge? That's pretty disturbing.
