Hackers protest against NSA spying, the TPP and Hammond's sentencing

Some Anonymous hackers have published a new video statement once again declaring “global cyber war” against the United States government. 

The hacktivists say they’re displeased about NSA spying, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, and the “unjustified” sentencing of Jeremy Hammond.

The initiators of this campaign claim they don’t want their supporters to launch real-world or online protests because that hasn’t helped before.

“We ask the people to be aware, let the war be handled by us,” the initiators of the operation noted.

A lot of videos are published on YouTube these days by alleged members of the Anonymous movement. However, most of these operations don’t benefit from too much support, so they die out before they even begin. It remains to be seen if this time will be any different.
