Predictions

Confirm

Deny

No response, no reports by suspension

Background

Reported plans by Anonymous to attack Facebook on 5 November appear to be an elaborate hoax by an unknown source.

A manifesto urging net users to "kill Facebook for the sake of your own privacy" was posted on a newly created YouTube channel, FacebookOp, on 16 July. The video features the robotic voice familiar from previous confirmed messages from Anonymous. However the production values have slipped and there are other reasons to doubt the authenticity of the message.

We asked Anonymous to either confirm or deny the op but have yet to receive a reply.

However other sources told El Reg that a faction of hacktivists are planning to attack Facebook, even though the majority of #antisec, LulzSec, @AnonymousIRC and others are against the idea.

The internal debate can be seen by following Twitter updates to the AnonyOps account.

The initial line was "#OpFacebook is being organised by some Anons. This does not necessarily mean that all of #Anonymous agrees with it." This soon became "an Anonymous board meeting was held. We have decided to renounce #OpFacebook. That is all."
