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

Jorge28 I don't think they meant to say that Anonymous are enemies for the US. I think they meant to say that they are powerful hackers and they are an example of people who can hack into all the US aircraft and make an attack. But it was an example not an insult. Instead of feel offended they should feel proud that the government fear them.

And thats what I said earlier but people disagreed. It's whatever people don't seem to be too smart anymore.


If you said that or something similar earlier then I agree with you. I think people don't understand the real point.

Exactly. The didn't say, "The hacker group known as Anonymous could possibly threaten the future of...blah blah blah

Youtube-Master anon is getting rediculous. whats the point of attacking someone for basically someone commenting you on your "1337 haxor skills". they used them because of their skills and nothing else. they ruin someones life who spent a lot of money and time going to college. they dont even have a cause anymore, its sad.

What are you talking about?!? If someone big, like Activision, made a video that millions would see and pointed you out as an enemy of the most powerful country in the current world, would you be a bit upset?

If you had the power to take revenge, I guarantee you would.

Before you ride anon's dick, think about this. Everything they did was for the greater good of humanity and to help make the world better for us. This? It's a **** video game. Seriously? It takes place in 2025, maybe anon fell before that and wannabes used their name and face masks to remake it and planned for world domination. If they made the stick figure for Lulzsec on appear it wouldn't be as effective because a lot less people know about them.
This isn't like their telling everyone Anon is bad and that they shouldn't help them..Like I said its a video game and has nothing to do with propaganda. Obama or the FBI hasn't had shit to do with this, therefore nothing is even going to be threatened. Honestly, most of what anon has did I agree with even in harassing the Scientology Church(Cult in my opinion). However jeopardizing someones job and reputation because you got your feelings hurt is dumb, especially since they obviously have a degree and took their time and a shit load of money to achieve that. These anon hackers most likely just sat inside and learned all this themselves for free.
They also didn't say anything in this documentary about Anon, they used it so everyone would have an idea. They really havent even said anything about them being an international threat. I hate people who never think for themselves.

Wow what a bunch of tw*ts, i reckon anonymous is just a bunch of sweaty fat teenager sitting in their rooms all day and because they've never moved an inch they've gained all these hacking skills from spending their whole life on a computer and not outside with a life.
