Anonymous has been meek and quiet since the great Sabu treachery, failing to even threaten much of anything. But in a new interview, one of the group's last remaining leaders says Anon has a nuclear card up its sleeve. Read More >
Another day, another lashing out by our friendly neighbourhood hacking collective. This time it seems Anonymous isn't too fond of a one Vladimir Putin. Having seen him just get his shoes back under the Presidential desk, the hackers took out the Kremlin's site, which, as Xkcd points out, is almost akin to tearing down a poster or two in the digital age of protesting -- not quite the hack attacks Anonymous et al. were waging just a few months ago that's for sure.

Looks like Anonymous isn't all that happy with Virgin doing what it was court ordered to do and blocking The Pirate Bay across its network. The hacking collective has forced the Virgin Media website offline with a classic DDoS attack, which kicked off at 5pm last night and still seems to be going strong this morning. Read More >
Yesterday's bank holiday apparently sent the tills in WH Smith a little loopy, where they rebelled against their masters and insisted everyone bought The Queen's Knickers and nothing else, despite what you thought you had in the bag. Read More >

Anonymous seems to be branching out all over the place, first we had Anonymous OS, then Anontune and now this. Pastebin has been cracking down on releases, attempting to eradicate leaked credit card information and other sensitive information from its servers. Anonymous didn’t take too kindly to that, so it’s set up its own competing “secure” text dump site, AnonPaste. Read More >
Looks like Anonymous doesn’t like what’s happening in Bahrain ahead of this weekend’s F1 grand prix. The hacking collective has taken down the official Formula One site with its classic DDoS attack, while other F1 sites, including the fan site F1-racers.net, have been hacked. Read More >
Anonymous has been acting up recently. Apparently bored with simple hacking it’s been branching out with its own dubious OS and now a music service? Anontune aims to pull in every streaming song from around the web, letting you create and share playlists, all while dodging the inevitable lawsuits from the music industry. Read More >

Since the arrest of the unfortunately monickered "Abortion Hacker" for his role in accessing the records of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service’s web site, a further 2,500 attempts have been made to hack into the BPAS server. Read More >

The Saturday night hack-a-thon organised by Anonymous will continue this week, with UK-based members of the collective having another go at DDoS-ing the UK government into submission over its controversial extradition rules. Read More >

Looks like Anonymous is serious about its hatred of the Home Office website. Having given it a battering just over a week ago, Anonymous again focused its DDoS cannon on the HO site over the weekend, but only managed to take it out for intermittent periods this time; looks like the government is actually learning for once.

If it’s on the internet, Anonymous can get its sticky mitts on it. That includes Time’s top 100 most influential people poll, which unsurprisingly now has Anonymous sitting pretty at the top amid cries of foul play. Read More >

This weekend saw the Home Office web site taken offline, thanks to coordinated attacks by the Anonymous collective. Designed to highlight the UK's controversial extradition laws, the attacks will continue every Saturday night. Which we'd much rather watch unfold than The Voice. Read More >
After every online strike by Anonymous and LulzSec — back when they did that sort of thing — it was inevitable that the leaked goods would wind up on Pastebin, the web's vandalised bathroom stall. Now, the company wants out of the game. Read More >
Cops. Defense contractors. The FTC. Military attorneys. FBI conference calls. Some of the most striking hack-attacks of the past year were executed under the middle finger banner of #AntiSec. But what if this "movement" was a gigantic trap all along? Read More >
