14 DAY TRIAL // The Canadian faction of the infamous hacktivist group issued a video in which they threaten to take down the website of the Toronto Stock Exchange on November 7.
It seems as Anonymous will be Anonymous no matter in which country they reside and to make sure they're on the same page as their American counterparts, on October 15 they joined the protest called Occupy Toronto.
According to Now Torronto, they haven't been very active so far, but now they released a Youtube message in which they announce their first major operation.
“It seems as egoism and money is the only thing the one percent is paying attention to. The voices of the 99% have been putting efforts into the resolving of coruption that Canada has been facing and no one is hearing their voices,” reads the digitized voice we've gotten used to.
The now popular Distributed Denial of Service attack is presumed to be the weapon of their choice when they commence the operation.
“The one percent has been putting their wealth in the Toronto Stock Exchange. This is why we choose to declare war against the Toronto Stock Exchange. We will show the world that we, the 99%, are more powerful than the one percent. On November 7, 2011, TSX shall be erased from the internet. And this is just the beginning,” the statement concludes.
Not long ago, someone claiming to be Anonymous published a video in which they revealed their plans to erase the New York Stock Exchange from the internet. At that time it turned out that the operation didn't go through, many voices claiming that it was only an attempt of the authorities to identify hackers.
It will remain to be seen if the Canadian faction will go through with the operation which might threaten the trading and business processes that take place at TMX.
