The hackers group, Anonymous, has threatened to mount to Distributed Denial of Service attack on November 5th against Facebook and the gaming giant, Zynga in retaliation to the gaming company laying off employees.
The group said in a statement posted on Anon News website that” we did launch phase 1 of operation maZYNGA with release of the confidential documents leaked from the executives of Zynga. On November the fifth we will release the key to the data files. Remember, Remember the 5TH of November”
The full text of the statement below…
Zynga customers and Facebook users , We are anonymous . During the last few days anonymous has been targeting Zynga for the outrageous treatment of their employees and their actions against many developers .
We have come to believe that this actions of Zynga will result in massive layoff of a thousand people and legal actions against everyone that speaks to the public about this plan.
It will also come to end of the US game market as we know it as all this jobs will be replaced in other more convenient financial countries.
With a billion dollars cash sitting in a bank we do believe that such actions are an insult to the population and the behaviour of corporations like Zynga must change.
Anonymous could not allow this to happen so it’s starting to release confidential documents we have leaked on this plan
As we speak we are planning to release also all the games we’ve taken from their servers for free.
That being said we will stop the idea of the distribution of such games if Zynga will cease immediately the plan.
The leaked strategy of Zynga , transcript:
Following the preliminary announced of this week the final strategy for the next two quarters has been successfully set to delivery by november 23 an additional but of 800 jobs with further raising of new capital from the market to support businesses.
We’ve identified our global gambling strategy with bwin.party and as we speak discussions are progressing with a partner to cover the US market.
Work is focused and on-going to completely outsource our development teams in our offices in Bangalore , India to hedge our position in the long term.
We’ve identified key new products from third parties such as Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime , Shove Prod and Music Invaders in which we are starting business contacts to buy these IP for transaction value of approximately 20 million.
We strongly believe we will conclude these deals this month and compete with this titles against mobile competitors with ease.
Our business continues to evolve and we must evolve with it. We operate in a exciting and challenging industry and I am very pleased that our senior leadership team continue to strengthen and develop with us.
In the recent past the Anonymous group launched Distributed Denial of Service against many Swedish private and government organizations in retaliation to Sweden’s police raid on a web hosting company, that previously hosted Wiki Leaks and Pirate Bay.
The group gave 24 hours warning before carrying out attacks on the sites.
A video about the announcement of the attacks was posted on popular video sharing site, the You Tube. But You Tube removed the video stating it’s a violation against the site’s police.
The Guardian Express of Los Angeles learns that the group would release many (paid) games stolen from the Zynga servers to the public free of charge. The Facebook is being targeted because of the Game Farmville which is very popular among millions of Facebook users.
