In this video, allegedly from the hacker group Anonymous (the group made infamous in gaming circles for the involvement in the recent Sony hacks), a group reveals their plans to take down Facebook on November 5.But your Farmville citizens aren’t in danger just yet; security expert Eugene Kapersky said on Twitter, “The news around #Anonymous to attack #Facebook on Nov 5 most probably is fake[…]Interestingly the news first appeared weeks ago but gained popularity just yesterday.”It’s cocky (and dumb) enough that the group reveals the exact day they plan to attack, but taking on a site like Facebook is far different than hitting sites like Sony or the government with a denial of service attack.
