Anonymous hackers: "Congratulations Mr. Assad, You have received the undivided attention of Anonymous"

AnonOps Communications: Anonymous hackers: "Congratulations Mr. Assad, You...: "The hacker community known as Anonymous has issued a communiqué and declared an operation against Bashar al Assad and the Syrian regime." The cutting of internet by Syrian authorities and the massive operations it's military was carrying out against civilian populations has deeply angered the hacking community.

The Annonymus Letter says:

One of the actions will be to remove the websites of Syrian embassies abroad.

“So long as Assad remains in power and the criminal and evil regime retains it’s ability to torture, kill, and imprison their own people; Anonymous will continue this campaign of removing the Syrian Embassy web sites from the internet and interfering with the communications channels via Black Fax and E-Mail Bomb campaigns.” says another communiqué

You can follow the operation with Twitter's hashtag #opSyria and on the group's blog at: http://anonops.blogspot.com/2011/06/anonymous-hackers-congratulations-mr.html

AnonOps Communications: Spain: Anonymous takes down National Police Website

AnonOps Communications: Spain: Anonymous takes down National Police websit...: "Saturday the infamous, international Internet hactivist collective known as Anonymous launched a successful DDoS attack against the Spanish Police..."

Here the the press statement they released shortly after the attack:

Greetings Spanish Government:

We know you have heard of us; We are Anonymous. It has come to our attention that you deemed it necessary to arrest three of our fellow anons, ... which you claim to be the leaders of Anonymous and for their participation in DDoS attacks against various websites...

First and foremost, DDoSing is an act of peaceful protest on the Internet. The activity is no different than sitting peacefully in front of a shop denying entry. Just as is the case with traditional forms of protest...

Regardless of how many times you are told, you refuse to understand. There are no leaders of Anonymous. Anonymous is not based on personal distinction...

Arresting somebody for taking part in a DDoS attack is exactly like arresting somebody for attending a peaceful demonstration in their hometown. Anonymous believes this right to peacefully protest is one of the fundamental pillars of any democracy...

You have not detained three participants of Anonymous. We have no members and we are not a group of any kind. You have, however, detained three civilians expressing themselves...

You are providing us with the fuel, but now you must expect the fire.

Awaiting your action,

Anonymous,

We are Legion.
We do not forgive your attacks on freedom.
We do not forget your ignorance.
Expect Revolution.
Expect us.
