Anonymous takes on Cartels

The 4chan kiddies have a new target: Drug Cartels.

Personally, I think the US government should extend an olive branch and collaborate with these guys to take advantage of any talent and desire to attack the cartels on this front. The enemy of my enemy is my friend? While this particular group isn't very sophisticated, they're definitely more tech savvy than the cartels are at this point and I think they could make a dent. If they do a data dump then a bloodbath will likely follow, but it will largely be among warring cartel groups so I'm not sympathetic.

I'm curious what your reaction is.

I don't really agree with some of the stuff Anonymous does... but it would be pretty awesome to fuck with the Cartels. I say do it. They seem to be pretty damn good at hacking.

If your dreams don't scare you, then they are not big enough. "There are two types of people in this world: People who say they pee in the shower, and dirty fucking liars."-Louis C.K.
 

What are they going to do exactly? What information are they assuming these cartels have stored in computers? Don't really see how this is going to get any traction...

Slightly off-topic, but still relevant:

Matt LiebowitzMembers of the Anonymous hacktivist movement are claiming responsibility for taking down more than 40 secret child-pornography websites and leaking the names of more than 1,500 members of one of the illegal sites.

The Anonymous campaign began Oct. 14, when members of the hacktivist group found a cache of child-pornography websites while browsing a secret website called the Hidden Wiki, a guidebook to hundreds of underground websites invisible to search engines and regular Internet users. The hackers singled out Lolita City, a file-sharing site used by pedophiles, and leaked the names of the site's 1,589 active members to Pastebin on Tuesday (Oct. 18), the Examiner reported.

Anonymous has its moments where it hits other bad guys, but I don't think that the U.S. should be teaming up with an organization that will likely "go rogue" at some point in the future.
