Anonymous Intends to Shut Down the Internet March 31
If this latest threat is carried out, it will highlight the significant security risks inherent in the internet as it exists today. According to numerous reports, including those of the head of US Cyber Security General Keith Alexander, infrastructure, commerce and transportation are susceptible to attacks that could damage physical equipment like thousand-ton machines, cause widespread power outages, and affect just-in-time delivery systems that keep food, gas and commerce flowing.
If Anonymous is capable of attacking core DNS servers that take down the web, even for a day, it would be a show of just how fragile our entire way of life really is. Though Anonymous hackers undoubtedly include some of the best and brightest techies out there, they would likely pale in comparison to the cumulative power of hackers operating under the sponsorship of a large Asian government (we won’t name any names), or a coordinated rogue terror network that acts not for the purpose of protest, but devastation.
If such an attack were to be unleashed on the Untied States terrorism experts suggest a coordinated take-down of the entire United States could be executed in as little as 15 minutes.
You might want to drain some extra cash from an ATM and do a little extra grocery shopping tomorrow.

Ha! Those children of Quixote couldn't even take down the website of the Holy See, or World Youth Day; they celebrated when all they were able to do was to temporarily over-work the Vatican portal. They can't even take down a windmill, let alone a wind-farm.
Anonymous is a bunch of computer geeks with no ... um, uh ... yeah ... who spent too much time after getting beat up in school thinking about how one day they would get even. Judechild is right, they take a lot of credit they don't deserve, and are feared for no really good reason. They should have been spanked more when they were children.

They should of been spanked more even though they were beat up?
Appears valid, "This is for not being strong enough to not get beat up."

If that doesn't win the hearts and minds of the sheeple, nothing will.
Endgame is brilliant.
