Anonymous: Sorry, FBI, you dont scare us

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The FBI is declaring victory over Anonymous in a series of statements claiming the hacker collective is no longer able to carry out large, successful operations because most of its “largest players” have been arrested or detained by US law enforcement authorities.

“The movement is still there, and they’re still yacking on Twitter and posting things, but you don’t hear about these guys coming forward with those large breaches,” Austin P. Berglas, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s cyber division, told the Huffington Post.

“It’s just not happening, and that’s because of the dismantlement of the largest players,” he added.

Berglas also claimed that recruiting LulzSec hacker Hector Monsegur, aka Sabu, as an FBI informant has bred fear and distrust within Anonymous, deterring hackers from continuing with their operations against targets like US law enforcement agencies.

But given some recent successes, Anons take issue with the FBI’s claims of “dismantlement.”

In spite of FBI arrests, large-scale Anonymous operations have been carried out as recently as July, when Anons made public information stolen from a server used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Earlier this year, OpLastResort infiltrated servers used by the Federal Reserve, the Department of Justice and several other financial and law enforcement agencies.

Scared of the FBI? Anonymous took to Twitter to mock the claim.
