Starting with December 10 and until December 21, Anonymous hacktivists plan on leaking “an unprecedented amount” of corporate, financial, military and state data as part of the campaign called Project Mayhem 2012.

According to the hackers, the information has been secretly gathered by whistleblowers, vigilantes and conscientious citizens.

“The global economic system will start the final financial meltdown,” the hackers stated. “People all over the world, out of fear to go bankrupt, will try to withdraw their savings from their bank accounts. This will trigger an even larger meltdown wave.”

They added, “Imagine the corrupted start to fear us. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny, but when the government fears the people, there is liberty. People shouldn't fear of their government. Governments should fear their people.”
