Anonymous targets Activision CEO after Call of Duty insult

4.8
The Anonymous hacker collective is now targeting Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg after the release of trailers for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 in which Anonymous is implied to be America’s new enemy in a dystopian future war scenario.

The video flashes images of the Guy Fawkes mask clad Anonymous member, making a not-so-subtle assertion that hacker collectives will be behind what Oliver North called a “nightmare scenario.”

“If you can hack a bank, you can hack a drone,” says UAV pilot Maj. Hercules Christopher as the Guy Fawkes mask appears again in another video that is part of the ad campaign.

Anonymous has posted a document on peoplesliberationfront.net detailing Hirshberg’s private information, including his home address, phone number and email address. The post also includes his total compensation for 2010, totaling $13.9 million.

“So Activision Why you done goofed? We are not the enemy but, well you want it you got it. Eric Hirshberg DOX. #OpPirateAllActivision,” read the post, DOX referring to a dump of personal data.

Twitter account YourAnonNews jeered at the implication of Anonymous posture itself as America’s future war enemy as well.

“If #Anonymous are the bad guys in CoD how will it be an FPS (first person shooter) anymore? We do nawt fight with gunz. We haz lazerz 4 dat,” read the tweet. the video can be seen below

Anonymous (The people) in protest of an act which threatens freedom and fundamental human rights by controlling what people can and cannot do on the internet(ACTA). Anonymous gave birth to a society of which now people who don't know each other can group together to voice their opposition to such a ludicrous act which restricts our rights and personal use of the internet. Anonymous has allowed people of all ages, races, nationalities, religion and sexual orientation to group together and stand up for what they believe in regardless of their own personal identity.

Proof enough?

you know anonymus does super illegal stuff right


So does the US government and Presidents... Nixon a pretty obvious example.

Illegal stuff is resorted to in times of desperation and yes sometimes greed or tainted reasons. So far most of what anonymous do is help human rights, there is and will always be some who just do things for the hell of it. (Individuals who have done what has been done this time.)

OK lets put a rest to this, anonymous only did this because black ops 2's trailer supported the us governments views that Anonymous is a terrorist organisation.

Anonymous is not a terrorist organisation and only seeks to better human life by fighting for human rights. [examples of this could be sopa/pipa of which were acts trying to control your life on the internet in particular aspects]

Because Anonymous is thousands upon thousands of individuals instead of an actual organisation one or two found it fun or suitable to get "their own back" on Activision.

Don't blame the entirety of Anonymous as they do only wish to help and protect everyone's best interest. Blame the idiot/s who thought exploiting someone's personal information was the best way to get back at generalising. [Don't care if you hate.]
