Greetings citizens of the World Wide Web, we are Anonymous. For months,
we have sought support from people all around the globe: Artists,
hackers, coders, musicians and protesters alike. The call to arms was
received with an outpouring response, but still not enough support has
been shown.
In times like these, truth will always be enough to
break any barrier that may be in our path, as this opportunity for a
free and just world unfolds, it is our duty to seize this moment for the
good of humanity. Each one of us carries different ideologies, but we
must push our differences aside and agree on one thing: this world is
big enough for every human being to follow his or her true will, and to
live a life we can all live equally with abundance. To achieve this,
Project Mayhem 2012 seeks to leak illegality, fraud, and corruption of
Government, Corporate, and Financial institutions worldwide. This event
will usher in a new age of love and prosperity while expanding our
collective consciousness.
The danger of PM2012 lies solely in the
fact that the goal can be accomplished, if we as a whole will it to be.
This is the true danger of our intentions. Who are we? We are everyone,
we are you, we are your brothers, your sisters, your mothers, your
daughters, and your friends. We protect the streets. We configure your
firewalls. We secure your information. For every institution that
stands, therein lies human beings that have kept the heart of these
entities beating. If you are one that does not fear change, if you are
someone who is willing to consider this possible, we ask you to join us
this December 11th to make Project Mayhem 2012 shine in the eyes of the
public.
Create a picture, compose a song, or create a video
supporting this event and/or what you would like to see happen on
12/21/2012 and tweet it out. Tweet out a call to arms to your favorite
coders, hackers, artists, musicians, protesting groups or any of your
choosing. Make Project Mayhem 2012 trend world wide.
You are Anonymous. You are ProjectMayhem2012. Expect us.
Anonymous can not, and will not stand idly while people are being denied their basic rights and human liberties. Yet, there are still a lot of governments worldwide who fail to even aspire to the standard of freedom that was set by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These governments believe they have the right and privilege to impose upon their own people an 'official' version of 'reality' which isn't in any way tampered by the truths of everyday life under which its citizens are living. Anonymous believes this is an outright crime which can not go unpunished.
The Egyptian people are living under inhumane conditions; being denied their basic rights to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, and the free access to information. By imposing censorship upon its own people and condemning these freedoms, the Egyptian government has revealed itself to be criminal, and has made itself an enemy of Anonymous.
To the Egyptian Government: Anonymous challenges all those who are involved in censorship. Anonymous wants you to offer free access to uncensored media in your entire country. When you ignore this message, not only will we attack your government websites, Anonymous will also make sure that the international media sees the horrid reality you impose upon your people. Anonymous will not spare anybody who supports this suppression. It is in the hands of the Egyptian government to end this: continue your repression and you will be subject to civil protest - lend an ear to the claim of freedom from your people and the hostilities will cease.
To the Egyptian people: We stand together and united against this oppression. This struggle is not just for you alone, but for the whole of humankind. Citizens can no longer endure their governments abuse. When forced by the threat of oppression, we will be loud as hell - and when the people roar, it will send shivers down the spines of all those who stifle our freedom and take our precious liberties away.
Anonymous are your brothers and sisters, your sons and daughters, your parents and your friends, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, ethnicity, or place of birth. Anonymous is you. You will not be denied your right to free speech, free press, free association and your universal right to freely access information, both in real life and through the internet.

Greetings Citizens of the world, this is Anonymous.
It has come
to our attention that the Turkish government want to prosecute a hacker
group called Redhack, they are accused of being a "terror organisation."
Prosecutors will demand up to 24 years imprisonment for people who have
no connection to Redhack.
They opposed and carried out actions
against rapes, out of date milk distributed to school children, which
resulted in 100's being poisoned, and the country being prostituted to
the capitalists. They opposed child pornography, internet censorship,
and brutal government opposition. Lately, they have been viciously
attacked by the Fascist Turkish State because they share information
which already belongs to the people. The most significant of these
attacks is the one that has been levied against innocent people who have
no link to Redhack. These people, who have shared information on social
media about these actions, are now held for ransom, solely in order to
demonise Redhack and cut their support.
Redhack openly declared
that Duygu Kerimoglu, Ugur Cihan Okutulmus and AllaatinKaragenc are not
their members. Nor are the seven others, on bail.
We implore the
public to give their support to these innocent people. We call on all
hacktivists, activists, freedom defenders, human rights organisation to
demand an end to the restraints imposed on these three innocent people
on remand, and the seven others on bail.
No matter how dark it
may seem, no matter how alone and abandoned you may feel know that over 9
thousands of us in Anonymous are with you and working tirelessly around
the clock to bring you every assistance. To the people of Turkey and
Redhack, know that Anonymous stands with you in this fight.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.

For the last 15 years Redhack has taken side with the labour struggle and used its knowledge to promote the interest of the majority, and the oppressed in Turkey, as well as throughout the world.
They opposed and carried out actions against rapes, out of date milk distributed to school children, which resulted in 100′s being poisoned, and the country being prostituted to the capitalists. They opposed child pornography, internet censorship, and brutal government opposition. Lately, they have been viciously attacked by the Fascist Turkish State because they share information which already belongs to the people. The most significant of these attacks is the one that has been levied against innocent people who have no
links to Redhack. These people, who have shared information on social media about these actions, are now held for ransom, solely in order to demonise Redhack and cut their support.
On the 26th November 2012, for the first time in the the world, a hacker group will be tried, accused of being a “terror organisation.” Prosecutors will demand up to 24 years imprisonment for people who have no connection to Redhack. Redhack openly declared that Duygu Kerimoglu, Ugur Cihan Okutulmus and AllaatinKaragenc are not their members. Nor are the seven others, on bail.
We implore the public to give their support to these innocent people. We call on all hacktivists/activists/freedom defenders/human rights organisation to demand an end to the restraints imposed on these three innocent people on remand, and the seven others on bail.
Court hearing details: 26th November 2012 – 10:00am at 13th Ankara High Criminal Court
For the past week, we in Anonymous have come together with many other allied cyber-activist groups from around the globe to conduct Operation Israel. Our mission was three-fold, and clearly stated: to do everything in our power to keep the innocent people of Gaza connected to the world, to interfere with the brutal aggression aimed at them by the IDF - and to help give a voice to the voiceless. We feel that we have succeeded in these goals.
We are gratified and immensely relieved, as is everyone in the world - to hear of the announced cease fire between Hamas and the IDF. No one in the world desires a just and lasting peace more than Anonymous. While we in the collective have no problem interfering in war, we do NOT believe it is productive to interfere with peace. We will therefore stand down immediately from all further cyber attacks upon the IDF or Israel so as not to risk this delicate and perilous cease fire arrangement. Likewise, we encourage all those cyber groups who have joined with us to also cease and desist now from aggressive acts, and give this cease-fire a chance. We ask this NOT on behalf or for the benefit of either the government of Israel, or Hamas - but we beg it of you on behalf of the innocent people of Gaza, that they may no longer be slaughtered with impunity.
But let no one misunderstand us. Anonymous will continue to monitor the Internet and other communications lines into and out of Gaza. We will continue to watch closely BOTH sides in this war. And we will continue to advocate by all peaceful means at our disposal for a just and lasting peace for Palestine and Israel, as well as the entire world. We will be vigilant, we will be active. Operation Israel is NOT going anywhere, and the innocent people of Gaza will never be alone again. Let this Operation be an object lesson to any government or entity anywhere who believes they can turn off the Internet...
Anonymous has posting personal data of five thousand Israeli officials online. The document contains names, email addresses and ID numbers apparently belonging to Israeli officials.
Earlier, Anonymous hacked over 700 hundred Israeli websites, including the Bank of Jerusalem, the Israeli Defence Ministry, the IDF blog, the President's official website.
“It has come to our attention that the Israeli government has ignored repeated warnings about the abuse of human rights, shutting down the internet in Israel and mistreating its own citizens and those of its neighboring countries,”
Anonymous has launched attacks against websites in Israel. Over 700 Israeli websites have been
hacked and defaced such as Israeli government and military sites, Tel Aviv's official government and the Israeli
president's site fails to load. Anonymous has also taken the Bank of Jerusalem, one of Israel's largest financial institutions, offline, and deleted the banks online database.
The Jerusalem Post has confirmed the assault, of Anonymous including the
attack on the Foreign Ministry’s website, as well as those of Kadima
party, Bank of Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv Municipality.
Anonymous Operation Israel (OpIsrael) is a response of the announced from the Israeli government on Wednesday, November 14, that they would be
cutting off Internet services in Gaza.
For to long, Anonymous has stood by with the rest of the world and watched in despair the barbaric, brutal and despicable treatment of the Palestinian people in the so called "Occupied Territories" by the Israel Defense Force. Like so many around the globe, we have felt helpless in the face of such implacable evil. And today's insane attack and threatened invasion of Gaza was more of the same.
But when the government of Israel publicly threatened to sever all Internet and other telecommunications into and out of Gaza they crossed a line in the sand. As the former dictator of Egypt Mubarack learned the hard way - we are ANONYMOUS and NO ONE shuts down the Internet on our watch. To the IDF and government of Israel we issue you this warning only once. Do NOT shut down the Internet into the "Occupied Territories", and cease and desist from your terror upon the innocent people of Palestine or you will know the full and unbridled wrath of Anonymous. And like all the other evil governments that have faced our rage, you will NOT survive it unscathed.
To the people of Gaza and the "Occupied Territories", know that Anonymous stands with you in this fight. We will do everything in our power to hinder the evil forces of the IDF arrayed against you. We will use all our resources to make certain you stay connected to the Internet and remain able to transmit your experiences to the world. As a start, we have put together the Anonymous Gaza Care Package which contains instructions in Arabic and English that can aid you in the event the Israel government makes good on it's threat to attempt to sever your Internet connection. It also contains useful information on evading IDF surveillance, and some basic first aid and other useful information. We will continue to expand and improve this document in the coming days, and we will transmit it to you by every means at our disposal. We encourage you to download this package, and to share it with your fellow Palestinians to the best of your ability.
We will be with you. No matter how dark it may seem, no matter how alone and abandoned you may feel - know that tens of thousands of us in Anonymous are with you and working tirelessly around the clock to bring you every aid and assistance that we can.

To the oppressors of the innocent Palestinian people,
it is too late to EXPECT US
Currently, we live in a world that we are constantly afraid to bring others into. All because the people whom are called terrorists, are the ones who control us. Raising false flags, to fund their wars.
Supplying drug cartels with weapons, due to a bill being signed. Rights being removed. Censorship being supplied.
Fuck The System, when the government lies. Fuck The System, when corporations opperate under the table. Fuck The System, when your insurance company refuses to pay the difference, due to greed.
Fuck The System, when you have nothing left; due to a political giants actions. Fuck The System, when you are claimed a terrorist for practicing freedom of speech.
So many reasons, to many to list; that is why we here at NullCrew have taken actions.
People losing money, when we pay taxes. People losing freedom, for speaking their mind. People whom are suicidal, being shot by the cops; instead of attempting to help.
These are all reasons that Fuck The System has always been so important to us.
We should all be putting all of our differences aside for the bigger problems at hand, the fact that we are being brain washed. That we are being punished, having rights extinguished from the governments own fear.
Anyone can make a difference, all it takes; is opinions to be announced. All it takes, is a strong will; and the ability to see through with what you do.
We all want this change, more so then others; and this is OUR way or protesting. This is OUR way of speaking our minds.
This is all of us, united into one idea. The idea of true freedom, so as people who wish for this.
A worldwide day of protests and cyber attacks against governments, banks and security firms has been launched by Anonymous to mark Guy Fawkes Day. Hundreds of people marched in London, while another rally hit Washington, DC.
A rash of cyber attacks were reported on Monday in line with the the 5th of November "V For Vendetta" inspired hacking spree.
The Guy Fawkes Day start with the hack of 28,000 Paypal Accounts. Several Australian government sites were targeted during the global day of protest, while Argentina’s government bank was also reportedly hacked. Anonymous also hacked into "Telecom Italy" (www.telecomitalia.it) the Greek City website, the Ghana Consulate website, and claim to have leaked VMware ESX Server Kernel source code via twitter today.
Anonymous have taken offline 89 child pornography sites. The websites were housed at the Webs hosting service. "Now we have good news and bad news. We have successfully attacked and removed 89 Webs service child porn sites. The bad news is that after a few Google searches we have discovered another 197,000 child pornography sites on the Webs hosting service.
Anonymous is depressing to see such numbers. "But we will not give up. Our attacks will not stop until each child porn site on the web is removed and any pedophile who ever wronged is punished."
Anonymous asks Webs to assist in tracing the websites. "They know we are serious and if they refuse to remove the child pornography sites, we will force them offline. This is not a threat, it's a promise."
Greetz from the LulzShip
Greetings once again internet users, we are Anonymous.
Our last attack when we took down the 12 child porn sites gained great support from people everywhere and we thank you for that, without you the world would not know our cause and this entire operation would be not nearly as effective.
A post was made to twitter about a formspring user who was posting child porn to his formspring account. The email for formsprings staff was posted to twitter and some concerned users emailed it to complain about the user. The users account was suspended and we recieved and email informing us that they were looking into him, he will most likely get arrested. #Victory
Now we have good news and bad news; the good news being: we have succesfully attacked and removed 89 child porn sites from the .webs service. The bad news is that when we run some google queries it shows that there is about 197,000 websites on the .webs service hosting CP (this is 100% legitimate). It is depressing to see a number like that involved with something like this. BUT WE WILL NOT GIVE UP! Our attacks will not cease until every child porn site on the internet is erased and every pedophile who has ever done harm is punished.
We invite .webs to aid us in the eradication of child porn websites from their servers, they already know we mean business and if they refuse to remove the CP sites we will take them down by force. This is not a threat, it is a promise.
All these pedos must be getting really butthurt by now. lulz. And they are about to get a huge dose of extra strength butthurt.
A 16-year-old boy has confessed that he is the maker of a Anonymous video on YouTube last week. In the video the maker threatened ISPs and government websites in the Netherlands with a massive cyber attack by Anonymous. The National Police Agency had already come to the conclusion that in that corner no activities were developed for a large-scale cyber attack.
The boy has contacted a special high tech team of the National Investigation Service after a call from the police in the media. The 16-year-old told the police that it was a one-man operation and that it had nothing to do with Anonymous. He has not thought about the consequences of his actions and has apologized, said the KLPD.
Anonymous has Wednesday launched an attack on the primary website of the Parliament of Spain and the web site of the Spanish National Police in response to the senseless violence used against peaceful protesters by the Spanish National Police.
Anonymous has removed from the Internet the web site of the Spanish National Police located at www.policia.es - and will keep it offline so long as continue the brutality.
The attack on the primary website of the Parliament of Spain include not only DdoS and hacking, but also Black Fax & E-Mail bombs. With this attack Anonymous will removing the Parliament of Spain from the Internet entirely.
For the second day running, tens of thousands of demonstrators led by the so-called indignados, or outraged, descended on the square – some 100 meters from Spain’s Congress building. Many in the crowd chanted "government, resign!" while hoisting up placards bearing the slogan “No” in opposition to the country's austerity program. The demonstrators are calling for new elections, saying the proposal of deeper budget cuts proves the ruling Popular Party has lost its legitimacy by failing to keep its promises. Many protesters were particularly enraged that the government was making cuts to health, education and public sector salaries while pumping funds into the country's ailing banking sector to keep it afloat.
Dear activists for the protection of privacy, dear people from all over the World. We are Anonymous.
We call you to act now against overall Surveillance-Systems. Worldwide governments are about to demolish Privacy with Systems like Trapwire and Indect. Those
network surveillance technologies sniff the CCTV cameras, government
databases and the Internet to identify people and make a profile of
citizens, their families and their socializing.
They pretend to
design those systems to secure us against Terrorism but the truth is
they have been working on Surveillance-Systems way before the first
Terrorists attacks happened.
It's time to act, it's time to show
the governments of the World, who we are, it's time to show humanity
stands as united, it is time to show what freedom means to us.
We
call all Activists over the world, from south and north America, from
Asia, from Africa, from Australia and Oceania, from the Arab spring and
from the European Union, to be a part of the Protest, against
Surveillance Systems.
Act now and spread the word in your mother
tongue, enter your Countries and Cities, in the pad linked on the
description of this video.
Governments are supposed to defend the interest of their peoples. They are not here to cheat the citizens.
It's our Freedom and our privacy.
Let us unite the whole humanity as one. Let it be the largest protests of the world history. Let us engrave the 20th of October 2012 as a day in the Humanity history!
United We Stand, Divided We Fall.

Antisec have published a million unique device identifiers from Apple devices, were taken from an FBI computer. The alleged hack was intended to publicise the existence of some kind of secret FBI tracking project.
Someone of AntiSec posted a document to Pastebin on Monday that contained links to around a million Apple unique device identifiers (UDIDs). The anonymous poster said the release was intended to highlight the FBI's alleged tracking of Apple customers. iPadAntiSec claims to have stolen 12 million device IDs for Apple iPads and iPhones. "We never liked the concept of UDIDs since the beginning indeed," the post read. "Really bad decision from Apple. Fishy thingie."
Antisec got into the laptop of FBI special agent Christopher Stangl during the second week of March this year. Stangl works at the FBI's New York field office, and has been a prominent face in the agency's cybersecurity recruitment efforts.
AntiSec said the hack, which apparently exploited a Java vulnerability, yielded a CSV file containing "a list of 12,367,232 Apple iOS devices including Unique Device Identifiers (UDID), user names, name of device, type of device, Apple Push Notification Service [APNS] tokens, zipcodes, cellphone numbers, addresses, etc".

against companies be responsible for using the harmful mineral known as coltan (columbite–tantalite). The latest targets of
OpColtan and OpGreenRights are the websites of Fujitsu General Brazil
(fujitsugeneral.com.br) and Siemens Switzerland (siemens.ch).
Anonymous have published massive amounts of data – including some
email addresses, usernames and passwords –, from these
websites.
Anonymous message
Our attention turns to you, unscrupulously and greedy multinationals.
Behind your famous commercial images, fabricated and marked on an false Ethic, the most cruel barbarites are hidden.
Coltan, the mineral that you use to produce capacitors of mobile
phones, besides being harmful to health, is also the sick result of
enviromental rape and enslavement of underdeveloped populations.
His gruesome traffic conceal the abuse of human rights and the dirty,
imperialist war, wich is the daughter of greed and contempt of life in
all its meanings.
We can not remain indifferent to greedy profiteers whose revenues are
derived from the suffering of a colonized, oppressed and exploited
people, forced to work in inhuman conditions and paid with meager
wages.
We also can not remain indifferent to the accomplices of environmental devastation.
Your work is unworthy: if you break the Life, we violate your sites.
Appeal to the Citizens of the World: while self-styled advertising
campaigns boast the next technological item, thousands of children are
deprived of their childhood, their bloody hands don't know what a toy
is, and they excavate constantly, searching for a mineral wich is
harmful to health. Thousands of fathers and mothers also work up to 72
hours without any protection, being enslaved and humiliated. Coltan is
deleterious for human rights, for environment, and also for health. Do
not be complicit in this mess, make your voice heard, read up, stand
up, fight to restore dignity to those who are without because of the
dirty work of "democratic" giants of marketing.

A message to all Indians, courtesy Anonymous ========================================================
Citizens of India !
Greetings from Anonymous Collective
Since
many days we have been observing the deteriorating condition of Free
Speech in India. And how the corrupt Indian government is trying to
suppress every dissenting voice.
Today, they talked about blocking Social Media for few days. Tomorrow ...... they will DO it.
Once again the government is at its games trying to gag the social media which is the only remaining venue of free speech.
That battle was won but the war is still far away. We haven't achieved complete victory. We have still a long way to go.
We
need to show this corrupt government that the citizens of this great
nation shall not bow. As one of your poets of the past has said - "Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free"
The cause and foundations of this nation, are today under danger. And there is only one person who can save it.
YOU..!! Get out and say it loud and clear in the government's face that, "I will not tolerate your misdoings anymore"
We are not calling for a rebellion. Neither do we want to out-throw the government. We just want a "Revolution"
The
system will not correct itself, the corrupt will not make laws to
prevent corruption or stand up for your need. Take to the streets,
create a movement that aims at changing the system and correcting its
flaws. Always follow the path of non-violence.
No leader will come to your rescue, no one will work for you, do it yourself. Join hands. United as One we stand.
You know what to do... You know what to fight for... You know what is right... You just need to know "WHO YOU ARE"
After 65 years, this nation needs to unite once again, to be truly free.
Be ready to save "your" nation....
We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forget. We WONT FORGIVE.
Govt. of India, you should have expected us. ========================================================
Electronics company Philips was hacked again by Anonymous, with almost
200,000 data leaked on the Internet. The dump was posted under the #Antisec #LulzSecReborn hashtag
on one of the hacking groups’ websites.
This is the third time this year when the electronics giant is breached, and user data is stolen. The leaked files have been uploaded to various file hosting sites and
contain a compressed file with raw sql database outputs. Some of the
files only contain minor information such as subscriber names and ids
but few files have administration and user accounts with encrypted
passwords.
All together there is well over 200,000 emails with at least 1000 of
them have further vital credentails that could allow others to use the
users personal information.
At the time, Philips shut down one of its servers, and said it started to investigate the breach with the Police.
A second suspected member of the clandestine hacking group LulzSec
was arrested on Tuesday on charges he took part in an extensive computer
breach of Sony Pictures Entertainment, the FBI said. Raynaldo Rivera, 20, of Tempe, Arizona, surrendered to U.S.
authorities in Phoenix six days after a federal grand jury in Los
Angeles returned an indictment charging him with conspiracy and
unauthorized impairment of a protected computer. If convicted, Rivera faces up to 15 years in prison. The indictment, unsealed on Tuesday, accuses Rivera and
co-conspirators of stealing information from Sony Corp's Sony Pictures'
computer systems in May and June 2011 using an "SQL injection" attack
against the studio's website, a technique commonly employed by hackers. The indictment said Rivera then helped to post the confidential
information onto LulzSec's website and announced the intrusion via the
hacking group's Twitter account. While Rivera was the only person named in the indictment, the FBI
said his co-conspirators included Cody Kretsinger, 24, a confessed
LulzSec member who pleaded guilty in April to federal charges stemming
from his role in the Sony attack.
Anonymous has Friday carried out a new series of attacks against government websites for OpFreeAssange. Scotlandyard, police.uk and staffslc.gov.uk all came under attack.
Operation free Assange is in support of Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks.
Earlier this week Anonymous attacked the websites of the UK Ministry of Justice and the Department for Work and Pensions corporate website, royal.gov.uk, gateway.gov.uk, statistics.gov.uk and number10.gov.uk.
The TrapWire surveillance system and Europe's INDECT are the subject of a global Anonymous protest planned for Saturday, October 20 2012 Information about the protest is being shared on twitter by OpINDECT International and there is an #OpINDECT/#TrapWire Facebook Event Page.
It is not the first INDECT protest - but recent news about TrapWire from the Wikileaks leak of private intelligence firm Stratfor's documents has added a tanker of gas to the fire.
News and locations of the protest are being shared on various forums and social media sites primarily with a google map showing locations of protesters joining the efforts to raise awareness and intent to stop use of the surveillance technologies.
TrapWire is in implementation in the United States while INDECT is officially still a European research project. While details are unconfirmed, the intent of both TrapWire and INDECT is to combine various intelligent surveillance technologies with tracking and location data, individual profile histories from various sources (datamining and social media), and image data analysis (such as facial recognition; TrapWire's video component) to monitor people under the guise of threat detection. Upon the release of Wikileaks' Stratfor documents (emails), news about TrapWire and sibling surveillance technologies have been met with increasing public surprise, fear and outrage.
A significant number of TrapWire and INDECT's opponents believe the surveillance systems to be direct threats to privacy, certain civil freedoms and that their implementation could constitute human rights violations. TrapWire is used by private entities, the US Government "and its allies overseas."
Last week it was revealed that TrapWire is now linked to Anonymizer, a tool used by activists and at-risk populations - formerly trusted for its security and anonymity protections.
