@profcrab What is the motivation for leaving a txt message from Anon if you're not Anon? Like I said, "to frame them", is not an answer. You think he left it to lead them off the trail? In what way would that work? Anon is already a memberless group. So leaving a message saying, "anon was here lawl", doesn't point in any direction. It would make sense if the message was "Microsoft wuz here", or, "EFF wuz here", because that would actually point to someone. I feel like I'm not explaining properly how this works. Basically, the person who reads the message "anon wuz here" is going to say to themselves, "So it could be anybody". How is that leading anyone around falsely or "off the trail"? Also, you think the CIA, wouldn't be able to figure out if a piece of evidence was planted by Sony?? Think about it. You come home and someone is dead. What's the first thing you do? Call the cops, or plant a fake letter in an attempt to clear yourself of suspicion? I know it's different, but it's not different by much. |
Listen, it is not a frame as in "OMG, send all of Anonymous to jail" and it isn't evidence that stands up in court. You need to understand that there are multiple reasons to leave even a stupid note like that. If you are Sony, it would be for a PR reason. If you are a cybercriminal you want to promote goverments and the public targeting and fearing some memberless cyberterrorist group and not the huge internet fraud market. More efforts hunting Anonymous = less efforts hunting some douche in an Eastern Europeon country. Even if they do some hunting for the guy there. The public isn't thinking about it which is just fine with them because internet fraud is BIG there. They have every reason in the world to do anything they can to not get caught. The last thing the reason cyber criminals want is attention because they exist because of the weak laws in the countries they are setup in. Public attention could result in US diplomatic pressure which means bad business for them if their governments actually cooperate in a crackdown. I'm sure the FBI knows where to hunt, but that doesn't mean the public is putting any pressure on its politicians to do anything about anything other than Anonymous.
Thank god for the disable signatures option.
