Anonymous hackers, more precisely the ones who hacked a couple of Syrian government websites last week, have announced the start of a new campaign called Operation Throwback.

The goal of the operation is to “to strike back against the oppressors of our freedom.”

The hackers say they will launch distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks against several high-profile websites. Today, on October 28, they plan on launching a cyberattack against the main website of T-Mobile.

On October 31, they plan on attacking the website of the FBI, the NSA, Verizon, Microsoft and AT&T.

The hacktivists urge their supporters to download DDOS tools and VPNs. The initiators of the operation are providing download links and instructions on how to use them.

Earlier today, the hackers tested their “firepower” against the official website of the American Nazi Party.
