14 DAY TRIAL // Anonymous and Team Poison united under the name p0isAnon and declared war on the financial institutions they claim are interfering too much in the Occupy protests. Robin Hood is the name of the new operation, in which they plan on taking credit cards and donating them to the “99 percent” and charities worldwide.
“In regards to the recent demonstrations and protests across the globe, we are going to turn the tables on the banks. Operation Robin Hood is going to return the money to those who have been cheated by our system and most importantly to those hurt by our banks,” reads a video statement.
The newly formed alliance claims they already started the mission, the first victims being Chase, Bank of America and Citibank.
“We have donated thousands to many protests around the world. We have donated thousands to the homeless and other charities. Our government has fallen short in many ways.”
Besides the open declaration of war against banks, Operation Robin Hood is another opportunity for the hacktivists to urge people to move their money into “secure credit unions.”
Just like the legendary hero, they claim this operation will make the “villains” pay for every injustice they committed when they turned down people or left them homeless.
“We are not afraid of the Police, Secret Service, or the FBI. We are going to show you banks are not safe and take our money back. We are going to hit the true evil while not harming theirs customers and helping others,” p0isAnon claims.
In the past period, Anonymous and their supporting groups have been more about words than about deeds. I wonder if this is a result of the fact that organizations that consider themselves targets do a better job in securing their assets.
A good example is the operation that targeted Fox News. When the big day came, Anonymous didn’t manage to breach their systems, finding that all the ports and all the means of attack were closed and secured.
