| Can Anonymous shut down Russian military satelite access? |

What are peoples thoughts on this? Is it likely to be true? I would have thought they'd have a closed system. I hope that it is factual. If outsiders had some control (other than blocking) then perhaps they could brick the satellites or crash them. |

"anonymus" scrip kiddies can hack into 7/11, maybe, on a good day. Who hides behind that Bs. name we'll never know. |

Well, Roscosmos is the Russian equivalent of NASA. I rather expect that the Russian Space Force, who even have their own launch facilities, are unlikely to leave their spy satellites under the control of a civilian agency, just as the US DoD don't let NASA control their space systems. If this is real, and not the blatherings of a bunch of immature attention seeking dweebs (which is more likely), then they have just taken out controls of weather satellites, earth observation satellites and other scientific missions (some related to the ISS) just because they are too stupid to tell the difference between a military organization and a civilian one. |

I would be sceptical to any news that's hard to fact check these days, news pertinent to Russia in particular. Anonymous really is decentralized, as such most anyone can claim to be part of Anonymous. They, or I should say we ;) are not _just_ script kiddies. Though most of the impact of Anon stems from the sheer number of compliant foot soldiers. Most of anonymous simply put their hardware to use, and are in effect just nodes in a massive DDoS. (I suspect very many don't even realize they are breaking laws running various commands they found on an image claiming to be some operation for justice) Then there's the hacktivists/grey hats, and of course the LulzSec types that simply just pick random coloured hats and do whatever. Chaotic evil, or chaotic good - depending on who's judging. There's also quite a large chance that anyone actually having the skills and then luck with some exploits will be or have been sympathetic with Anonymous, and as such share the "glory". It is more scary for the victim (or aggressor in this instant) that they are under attack of the many, rather than simply one talented person getting lucky. They are legion. We are many. |
