what do you think?
is this a joke?
-
yeah i have a facebook lol...its not a joke this is real these are the guys who hacked playstation network awhile ago and put a nazi symbol on google a long time ago these guys are called "4Chan" i have my sources ::) i know things anyway i would go to account settings on facebook and download all your facebook info to your computer....if they shut it down everyone will move back to myspace or something called orkurt i dont know what it is. but i doubt they will manage to shut it down
-
Meh no big loss
but just think...
All that personal info people quite happily put on their Failbook accounts...
Someone hacks in and gets the lot...
think about it the next time you stick anything and everything on there...
-
i dont have much on my profile just my date of birth gender and my name of course
-
Thats quite a bit of info...
-
well the people that are planning to hack facebook are just Jelly they cant make a website like facebook :P
-
well im pretty sure there is more than one Cole...G**** that us born in december on the planet
-
They'd have hell of a job doing it. Though depending on which way they did it. If they did a massive DDoS attack and blew up the servers they wouldn't do too bad. I think LulzSec were going to help? Or was that on PayPal, I cant remember. But anyway, the big boss of LulzSec as arrested at the moment, which most people aren't happy about.
-
Lulsec? another hacking clan?
-

or live
-
should i a day before i am going to delete my account
so that they cant get any data
-
Youtube >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Facebok, for me. So I don't give a crab about it. Plus, here in my country we have our own national unbearably-popular equivalent to Facebook. :P
Oh, and it's been awhile when I was on 4chan, having fun on *dumb* Sonic the Hedgehog fans. Lmao0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o
-
that wont work CC...after you delete your account the info will stay for 90 to 120 days and then disapear giving time to recover your account.....
-
WM are you saying you were a member of 4Chan ::)
-
o brilliant
to late now
-
Indeed it is to late to late for all of us
-
so what should we do
-
wait and see what happens is my best bet............................
-
In this case PB&J Otter danced the Noodle Dance to solve a problem, but always their ideas were not feasible, just like an operating system idea or the upcoming "my own new facbook" idea.
-
true
it could just be a joke
-
who knows
-
got my info
now what i do
-
save it in a folder
-
then
-
what do i do with the data if facebooks deleted
-
Google+ ;D
-
Horay for Google+
Glad to see another user of it :)
-
Love it so far! Better than facebook, still little bugs around, and few users. But the bugs will be fixed and i hope more people coming over to google+! =)
-
Sony (PS3) got hacked into so if that can i see Facebook no problem there was something like this which should of took place on March 15th 2011 but never.If its true Facebook will be on high alert
-
3 Google+ users in one thread (thats including me!)! thats a new first :2thumbs:
I'm pritty sure that this attack will amount to nothing, as facebooks servers are all in one facility, so there easily controlled and have a decent anti-hack system, that being said, all the hacker would have to do is DDoS the datacentre and facebook is down for the count :o :o ::) :o :o :'(
-

Sony had an awful security system where hardly any of it was encrypted either. LulzSec saw this, the LulzSec boat hit ashore, they hopped in, took the info and sailed off.
Taking Facebook down will be extremely difficult. It has two of its own datacentres, some say with a total of over 60,000 servers keeping the site running. Trying to overload the lot will take a lot of DDoS'n
-
Is Google + 'public' yet..? I Remembered reading something a while ago on the BBC saying that it wasn't avaliable yet...I've done a quick Google search and nothing has come up?
Jack.
-
slight problem
you need to be 18+ to use it :C
and im 14.
:-[
-
Well, I am 18. Aren't I?
*cough*
-
As ever it's left to muggins to point the obvious out.
In most cases, the hackers hack without warning.
They seldom give organisations such as farcebook months of warning!
Perhaps farcebook will be hacked- but not by these lot. And gibby12- you're some big shot with connections, are you?
-
well
but i quess everybody getting there info as after 13 hours of requesting
ive still havent had it
-
got it :D
just arrived
-
now ive got my info
what use is it if facebook dose go down
-
Wait there, I'll ring my contact in the Mafia...he'll know what's going on...
-
now ive got my info
what use is it if facebook dose go down
Probably not a lot... :doh:
-
Anyway if the info of everyones details is released, how bad does it really? Not very. Think about it, all the info you put on Facebook is for people to see anyway? If anyone gets on your account they try to embarrass you one way or another.
Also out all the millions of facebook accounts, why would they want to go on yours? And if it were 'dead' they couldnt do that anyway
-
Is Google + 'public' yet..? I Remembered reading something a while ago on the BBC saying that it wasn't avaliable yet...I've done a quick Google search and nothing has come up?
Jack.
Its not public yet, but theres a semi open beta in progress, well, when I say semi open, people who already have an account can invite other people to join the network, but google has closed the system to new people (even invited people) because there running out of space, which is hard to belive.
-
It won't go down on the 5th, it's just like the end of the world stories...just someone trying to attract attention.
So can anyone invite me to google+ or is there no more spaces?
-
no more space on goggle+ so it not possible to invite non
-

-
You could frame it...?
Failbook goes, I doubt it will be of much use...
But if you can remember your name and age, I am sure you can do it again :doh:
-
But if you can remember your name and age, I am sure you can do it again :doh:
Yeah name age where you live where you work where you went to school phone number email, all that stuff you don't want people to hack though you let it be seen by anyone in the web anyway
-
:doh:
i hope theyll destroy fb and lots of kiddies and emo-posing camwhores will lose their vacuum bowls aka accounts on there and get a life
-
@captain cadet...
What do you mean? where will your info go if its hacked...i dont know but its good to keep a copy of your info
-
Yeah name age where you live where you work where you went to school phone number email, all that stuff you don't want people to hack though you let it be seen by anyone in the web anyway
bit late now
there wont be enought time
-
so there was no point of downloading my info
-
I'm sure if Facebook is selling my info and uploads to Syria and Egypt they'd be bored to death.
Gov Agent #1: "Crimany! How many more Muppet Show clips is this guy going to link? Nobody cares!"
Gov Agent #2: "Wait! Did he post another Pigs In Space with Link Heartthrob? He's dreamy!"
Yes, and between that and pictures of rocks, Coke cans, bugs, and homemade videos of singing Marmots that nobody ever comments on I'm sure Krygyzstan is waiting anxiously for the next Planet of the Apes clad rendition of "Here's That Rainy Day" or the 99th photo of my dog starring out the window at squirrels.
This group, called Anonymous, claims "...One day you will look back on this and realise what we have done here is right, you will thank the rulers of the internet, we are not harming you but saving you." Well, when you try to save someone from themself and do what you think is right for someone on their unwilling behalf, it's not called intervening, it's not called helping, or saving, it's called meddling!

AMEN SMITHACUS!
btw: "rulers of the internet"? nice term!
btwII: who are the rulers of the internet exactly?

btwII: who are the rulers of the internet exactly?
I don't know who exactly the rulers are, if there are any. This idea that Anonymous is/are the rulers is delusional. They can't permanently destroy Facebook or anything. The world is bigger than are and it continues to turn with or without the internet.
If you google "rulers of the internet" you'll get mostly blogs and other forums that linked that article that's linked on the begining of this thread. I doubt though that November 5 will be Facebook's doomsday as it's uncharacteristic to announce an attack for a specific day. The only other news article in the search results is something from The Clipper, a community college in Everett, Washington.
But after sifting through blogs, forums, articles, images of this Anonymous and rulers of the internet, it seems this group has an extreme facination with the V for Vendetta movie. I should probably rewatch the film, but I found it so boring the first time I turned it off before the first 45 min finished. But I'll watch The Sons of Katie Elder all the way through for the umpteenth hundred time any day.
My own opinon, and I have not found anything on the net to back this up, is that these cyber attacks and threats are related, albeit loosely, to the Wikileaks scandal and the Assange arrest, which it was threatened (blackmailed) that certain things would happen if he were arrested. But I'm not going to waste too much time digging for that shred of evidence.
As far as Facebook is concerned, I only use it as a glorified email system to stay in contact with people that have moved away and I, myself, moved a great deal. I migrated from myspace to facebook, but don't feel like another migration to google+. Eventually somthing will outdo google+ and then everyone will want me to migrate to that. No, I've made my decision and I'm sticking to it. The cyberwar game is afoot, but I would be aware of decoys, distractions, and false leads.

I dont really get it..
Are all these anonymous people just jealous that the people on social networking sites are actually comfortable with showing who they really are and being themselves, and not some wannabe hacker-imposter alter ego that joins in with the trash talking without the actual skills to back it up? :P
At least the facebookers and the likes get some semi real and sincere interaction out of it with people they like, unlike the site where these anonymii reside. And I dont believe anyone could destroy facebook anyway. They can attack and disrupt, maybe even whipe part of it out so that some folks lose their account. But it's not all on just one server, and there's backups.. how are they going to get it all?
If they succeed and I lose my account, then I'll make a new one and add my friends that I talk to, who opt to use facebook to communicate, all over again. there's nothing there that can not be replaced and new things will come along too, so at one point we'll go to the next thing anyway. It's merely a tool for communication and sharing of 'stuff'.
I sort of hope they succeed, just cause it would make things very interesting :P
People that depend upon a social networking site so much that the loss of it would ruin their life, need to get one, by going out and spending time with some real people, out in the fresh air. Of course that is just my view on it, whch may be flawed.. ;D
;)

what the y mean they will destroy the servers so the facbook.com would not turn up as anything
-
I wish them lots of luck.

Spreading pointless rumours like this is a common trick these days; bored idiots make up stupid stories and then hope for more gullible people to keep the rumour going.
The idea is to spam as many boards as possible with this stupid rumour. People who really do posess the technology and ability to carry out such an action don't NEED to advertise it first.
And gibby12- I am not having a pop at you; just that you are worrying other people who believe this sort of thing. I am really pleased for you that you have "contacts" in the know who keep you advised of everything- just try not to upset other people with rumours
-
they'll probably just flood and try to overheat the servers from facebook using their "LAZORS"
it kind of worked on mastercard a few months back, they flooded the servers causing the website to not work.
but after they stopped flooding the servers Mastercard was back online as it was before. so in my eyes, the plan failed ;)
-
I've got a new take on this whole rumor:
They keep referencing that movie (V for Vendetta). Since it's a Warner Bros. movie and WB has partnered with Facebook for streaming movie rental service[1][2] it stands to reason this is a publicity stunt to announce Nov 5 as an upcoming sequel to that movie and a WB/Facebook merger. Nov 5 is convenient as it's a Saturday and most people will be home from school or work. If not, it's good publicity for both parties.
So now that WB owns Facebook will Bugs Bunny be the new logo?

P.S. - If you've ever spent more than a day in the military you've probably heard every kind of rumor and are numb to all by now. So if you believe this garbage then tomorrow's uniform at first formation will be flip-flops, helmet, ski-mask, jeans, and combat coat. Bring a rake as we'll be doing Humvee tire changing drills for P.T. Tomorrow will also be a half day schedule which means you'll be getting off work at 1700hrs instead of the usual 1800hrs. :P
