14 DAY TRIAL // Anonymous hackers have reinitiated OpBahrain and once again they’ve set their sights on the Formula 1 Grand Prix that’s scheduled to take place this weekend.
Last year, the hacktivists took down the forumla1.com website with a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack, and leaked the personal and financial details of numerous individuals that attended the race.
“Since last year, we have had millions of eyes trained on the continuing oppression of our freedom loving brethren in Bahrain by the self-made ‘King’ in Manama. Since last year, when Anonymous in solidarity with hundreds of thousands of Bahraini - shut down the Grand Prix F1 race and said ‘no’ to blood racing,” the hackers stated.
“One year since Anonymous dumped the personal information including credit card and passport numbers, of all the F1 attendees in Bahrain - and yet Bernnie Eccelstone and the ‘Royal Family’ of Bahrain have learned nothing,” they added.
“So we are coming forward this year to wreck your little party again Mr. Eccelstone. Anonymous will not stand by and allow you a race fueled by the blood of our freedom loving comrades in Bahrain.”
This year, they promise to “remove” the organizers and the Bahrain government from the Internet. In addition, the hackers say they will expose the details of anyone who supports the race.
“You have been warned. Once the festivities for this race begin in Bahrain, all bets are off. We call upon Bernie Eccelstone while there is still time; cancel your blood race now,” the hacktivists stated.
Besides online protests, the event’s organizers are also expecting live one. The BBC reports that security measures will be enhanced following a series of explosions.
