Anonymous Threatens Robin Hood Attacks Against Banks 529
gManZboy writes "Just in time for the holidays, hacktivist collective Anonymous has announced that it has teamed up with like-minded group TeaMp0isoN to donate to charity. The catch: they're using stolen credit data from big banks to make donations, in a campaign they're calling Operation Robin Hood. Is the #OpRobinHood campaign for real, or like previous threats against Wall Street and Facebook, just another hoax? Aesthetically, at least, the OpRobinHood video ticks all of the traditional Anonymous aesthetic requirements: a mashed-up 'p0isoaNoN' logo (green on black), a liberal dose of swelling choral music (via that movie trailer staple 'Europa,' by Globus), together with selected clips of Kevin Costner as Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves."

is bringing up that terrible Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves movie. That's unforgivable.

Send the home addresses of stay-at-home wives of bankers to sexual predators getting out of jail. Since obviously 2 wrongs make a right, might as well go all out.

First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you get the attention of Fox News,
then you get incinerated by a Predator drone.

That's no fun. I prefer the more subtle approach. There is a little sign at BOA here that points to "customer parking". I've been thinking of this: Measure the letters carefully, duplicate the font, pay a visit at night and change it to "victim parking".

Providing the unseen "?" is "Sell drone-aircraft to the US Government", then yes, next step is Profit.
Otherwise, next step is "Feed local bacteria for several weeks.".

Sweet, let's all take Gandhi quotes out of context and use them to justify credit card fraud.
