Are "Anonymous" one of the most powerful groups in the world?

[Pretty Boy32]

Think about it.

These guys can basically hack anything. They have hacked the FBI database and threatened to hack other government sites/databases over the next few days should the SOPA act be passed.

I think these guys are brilliant, they are standing up for the Internet and doing something about it.

not as powerful as the illuminati

What exactly have they achieved so far by temporarily shutting down some websites ? I remember the Sony incident that did virtually nothing except piss off the consumers (who they were fighting for?) who couldn't use the Playstation's online mode for weeks.

[D-MiZe]

So they've made a few threats and hacked a few websites, big deal.

They aren't anything to be feared.

By the way, SOPA got dropped a few days ago.

[Sir Flabbers]

Not really. You can't hack your way out of a jail cell.

They could of easily done alot more damage then they have done,
Thats the point.

They are proving they can access these servers and they can do damage to them if they want.

Yeah in the US.

In Ireland here, they are putting there own kind of SOPA through and Anonymous hacked the Departments of Justice and Finance this morning, websites were down for around an hour after being targeted with a denial of service attack.
