Brothers and Sisters,
Citizens of the World,
We are Anonymous.

We come to you with grave news about the freedoms we enjoy on the internet. They no longer exist. A few of us have information regarding a virus the US government created and we are trying to release the evidence. Due to the nature of this virus, we are unable to spread the message through the internet, for we have had our internet and telephones disabled and censored. We are also being chased by agents as we speak.

We have evidence the US government and Facebook collaborated in creating a virus called koobface, which allows an application called "Get Revealed" to obtain your personal information and gives it full control of your account. If you don't believe us, look at the permissions you give that application. This has turned Facebook itself into a datamining virus, which we suspect has been embdedded by United States intelligence services. This is a virus that checks your friends, and sends messages to those that have not yet received the virus. It says that you have answered a question about them on "Revealed Quiz". They allow the application to have full access to their account, and the virus spreads silently. This virus remains dormant until you are targeted by the government over your political views. We have included evidence in the discs dropped off to the media. You won't even know they're doing it until it's too late. Facebook refuses to press charges against the creators of this virus, which plagued Facebook for years, and this is the only virus known to have affected Facebook.

The government invested $50 million into facebook through "intelligence contractor" company In-Q-Tel in 2009. A few months later, koobface emerged. This is the return on investment In-Q-Tel got. Facebook itself is a virus. If you perform virus scans on your computer, you will not have any results, since the virus is on a webpage. Facebook also gives itself access to monitor your online traffic, even when you're LOGGED OUT of Facebook. This virus gives the operator God Mode over your computer and all internet traffic sent from your computer. If this information gets out, it could destroy Facebook's and the CIA's reputations. It would also prove us right. Sell any Facebook stock you have. Tell your friends to sell Facebook stock. They will be bankrupted and publically shamed for this information. This information could destroy the credibility of the government.


In summation, this operation has two parts:

Part 1: spread the message using paperstorm tactics and social media if you wish.
Part 2: contact all your local affiliates. The media that speak about it meaningfully will be spared our wrath.

We are Anonymous.
Together, we will show them how Legion we are.
We do not forgive injustice, secret killings, and censorship.
We do not forget media organizations that kept its citizens in the dark.
To the newsmakers of the world, expect us.

OPERATION: ENDGAME COMMENCING

Thoughts? I'm taking a backwards step on the internet on the various mainstream channels

[wub]

Shared.

[garethom]

Lol, they include a wikipedia page with a section called "Hoax warnings" basically talking about the sort of stuff in that ^^^ email.

[wub]

Hahaha, koob is book spelt backwards so Koobface is a play on Facebook, just got that.

Not sure why they didn't go for Koobecaf though, the domain names probably would've been cheaper.

[AxeD]

How can i check what permissions I give this 'app', if it's not installed?
What is the proof the virus was created using government funding and in collaboration with Facebook?
I'm not going to share anything if there is no proof obviously.

Also I've never seen anything called 'revealed quiz' on Facebook or anywhere else.

[wub]

How can i check what permissions I give this 'app', if it's not installed?

You have to install the app first to check permissions.

Wait.

Wait.

WAIT!

It's a double bluff to get you to install the app in the first place...oh very clever bit of guerilla marketing there by the app creators. Smart but not SMART ENOUGH to pull the rug over the eyes of this plucky explorer. We will find the jade monkey before the next full moon, oh yes we will.

[Terpit]

hmmm
' Due to the nature of this virus, we are unable to spread the message through the internet'
Isnt this 'article' from the internet?

[AxeD]

Well let's just not install the app then. Crisis averted.

[test_recordings]

Fuck knows, it's more of a hassle than it's worth now. Was before but now I'm pretty confident it's worth getting rid of

[lloydnoise]

meh

[Mason]

so what personal information is this thing gonna take? if it's just things off facebook who gives a fuck, just don't put things you don't want people to know on facebook.

[AxeD]

Your passwords

[Mason]

facebook password or stuff like online bank passwords?

[Harkat]

I'm in general for this whole internet freedom business, but I'm not sure how much good guys like anonymous are doing actually.

I don't like the idea of there being a record of everywhere ive been with my phone which has facebook on it

[nowaysj]

Not talking about koob here, don't know wtf that is, but the way this is working is all sources for data on you are aggregated. So all conversations spoken on the phone, land and cell, all email, forum, Facebook, all of your browsing history, all of your trackable movements through 3d space provided by cell phone information, camera (facial recognition, other biometrics, license plate) electronic financial transactions, etc are all aggregated and linked to you as an individual.

Now there isn't some greasy dood drinking unending cups of coffee in some dark room tracking all of us, but when you perform actions that present a profile of interest to them (watch certain videos on you tube, visit certain web sites, use certain words in text or voice communications, travel to certain locations), you jump into a higher tier of scrutiny. Then you are more closely monitored, either still algorithmically or by an actual human.

^ Reminds me of this little quiz, http://utopia.channel4.com/how-long-bef ... -find-you/ guessing how quickly you could be found by your online presence etc.
