#12Am I the only one who thinks this sounds completely out of character for LulzSec / Anonymous?
They aren't stupid. They surely know that waging war against Facebook would be silly.
I'd bet this is someone completely different, looking to pose as Anonymous. Try looking at the sources --- you won't be able to trace it back to an announcement by Anonymous. So who are these guys?

#13Unstoppable force meets immovable object!
As much as I admire anon's technical prowess, I seriously doubt that they can take down significant portions of FB which seems very well prepared (unless, of course, some former employee reveals a trapdoor or something to them). Up to now, their targets have been clueless corporations (i.e. Sony) or government agencies mostly.

#14This group calls itself anonymous as well, and uses the same 'branding', but it is useful to note that the people behind this may have no affiliation with the previous anonymous operations. The 'original anonymous press release' was Uploaded to youtube by FacebookOp on Jul 16, 2011, and picked up by media only recently. None of the usual anonymous twitter accounts ( http://twitter.com/anonymousirc http://twitter.com/…
Have any of the "official" (whatever it means) Twitter accounts said anything against FacebookOp?
I'm wondering if this is an spinoff from Anonymous, a false flag, or even both things at the same time (possible).

#15The only way I could see this going down is if they have insiders already at Facebook

#16Hahahahahaha. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. [breathe in] Haha. Hah. Hahahahaha. Best of luck, Anon! I'm not sure if Anon fully understands the level of infrastructure and the level of preparation Facebook has... They'll need to come up with something a lot more compelling than a bunch of guys at home with LOIC.
Like I said, this is not Anon. Think about it. Anon aren't stupid. And going up against Facebook is stupid.

The traffic Facebook pulls is orders of magnitude greater than Visa and Mastercard's websites have ever had to deal with.
Hell, according to Alexa, Hypem gets more traffic than Visa. http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/visa.com http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/hypem.com

No, you aren't. In fact if I'm not mistaken, this notice was first released yesterday, in spanish.
I'm not 100% sure though.
