Apparently, it's still on: Spokesman Says Anonymous Will Use 25,000 Stolen Emails to Expose Mexican Drug Cartel

Quote:

The hacktivist collective Anonymous is in possession of 25,000 emails stolen from the Mexican government, which they'll use soon to out scores of Mexican drug cartel collaborators, says a spokesman. This is insane, if it's true. (A big if.)

Anonymous' operation against Mexico's notorious Los Zeta drug cartel carries on despite confusion over whether the hacktivist collective had called off their risky attack, according to a blog post by Anonymous Latin America.

Full size
Anonymous' informal spokesman Barrett Brown confirmed this in an interview today, and also made the explosive claim that Operation Cartel hackers were working off of 25,000 stolen "Mexican government" emails to compile a list of at least 75 collaborators with the Zetas. Brown says Mexican Anonymous hackers stole the emails in unrelated operations but wouldn't give any other details about the supposed cache.

The group is planning to release the list on November 5th along with supporting evidence including emails, though it might be delayed to allow further vetting, Brown said. Who will be on the list?

"These are taxi drivers involved in kidnappings. There's obviously a number of officials. Police officers," Brown said.

Any names on the list could become the targets of the Zetas' enemies. In September, 35 bodies were found in the eastern Mexican state of Veracruz along with a note claiming the victims were supporters of the Zetas.

But Brown said Anonymous is releasing the names with the goal of causing violent chaos among Zetas' ranks. "It's going to be a bloodbath," he said. It's payback for the kidnapping of an Anonymous member in Veracruz by Zeta members, according to Operation Cartel's planners.

So, these are some pretty spectacular claims about a very, very stupid plan. But there's plenty of reason to doubt the claim. Brown says he's working closely with OpCartel but admits he hasn't seen the emails—they've only been described by a trusted member of the operation. And while Brown mostly reliable about the Anonymous goings-on (he's been a well-known, if informal spokesman on-and-off for more than a year) he's prone to exaggerating the magnitude and influence of Anonymous' operation. Then there's the case of the much-ballyhooed 4GB of Sun emails, allegedly stolen by LulzSec hackers summer. Months later, there's still no evidence they ever existed.

But there's also the case of HBGary, the security firm whose emails Anonymous really did steal and leak, implicating enormous banks and corporations in an embarrassing scheme to smear Wikileaks.

Whether or not the emails exist it seems that Brown has a strong death wish. He tweeted yesterday "Zeta: Give us back our Anonymous participant or many of you die within a week." But he's not worried, even though he lives closer than most to the border, in Texas.

"I mean, it's a drug cartel, they're violent people," he said. "But they're not going to come streaming up the street in downtown Dallas and kill me."

nothing is stopping you. anyone can be anonymous. anonymous isnt one singularity.

anonymous is anyone that is anonymous.

you can demand whatever you want under the name anonymous. doesnt mean other members will agree. but it doesnt matter.

one anonymous group posted that they will reveal important information
another group feels that will put many other anonymous members lives in danger so they decide to say they wont go forward with it
but the original group will still do it. they might do it under a different name out of respect for the majority of the members. but it still will be done.

MS13 is just a very big street gang. los zetas is a cartel.

guys like MS13 are hired under los zetas to do dirty work.

it's like a giant corporation hiring a rent-a-cop to patrol some property they own.

cartels are the polar opposite equivalent to giant corporations/banks.

ying and yang. cartels and mafias and triads are the top of the underworld. they operate with corporate efficiency. they have their fingers in everything you can think of. they have high tech military grade equipment. they arent just your stereotypical street gangs.

there was actually a report saying the 2009 bailout shit wouldnt of been possible without cartel money in the banking system. without their HUGE chunk of billions (near trillions) of dollars, the bailout wouldnt of been possible.

street gangs are nothing compared to them.

just think of the "legit" world's ladder. they are the exact polar opposite of the "un-legit" world's ladder. you can compare cartels to corporate bodies like goldmansachs. they control trillions of dollars.

think of it this way, the cartels are the producers and distributors. big gangs are middle men/whole sale, small gangs are retail.

Dont forget the banks that launder their money and lease planes for the cartels to smuggle with.

"The "hacktivist" movement Anonymous appears to have won a victory over a ruthless Mexican drug cartel, with word late Thursday that the Anonymous member kidnapped by Los Zetas had been released. However, unofficial Anonymous spokesman Barrett Brown says he may yet share an alleged 25,000 Mexican government emails containing the names of Zetas members and associates.
"The Anon who had been kidnapped last month by the Zetas has been released, although it appears that the Zetas concerned did not know that the individual was the Anon whose release had been demanded by those who instigated #OpCartel. As such, no bargain has been fulfilled," wrote Brown in a message posted on the Pastebin website yesterday evening.
Friday morning, Brown changed his tune after he apparently received more information.
"As many have heard, the individual who was kidnapped was indeed identified by Zetas, which changes things. More later," he tweeted. "I will not be releasing Zeta names from those e-mails, but will be going after other cartels with help from informants," adding in another tweet that the emails "are going to [the German newsmagazine] Der Spiegel."
Yet Anonymous Iberoamerica, a Spanish-language Anonymous blog, predicted dire consequences if any cartel-related names were revealed — and consequently abandoned the fight.
"[The freed Anonymous member] has sent us a message," a posting early this morning read. "If Anonymous unveils any name related to the cartel, the family of the kidnapped Anonymous member will suffer the consequences. For each cartel name revealed, 10 people will be put to death."
"The Anonymous collective has decided by consensus that the information which we have will not be disclosed for now, as we understand that we cannot ignore threats that involve innocent civilians who have nothing to do with our actions."

Earlier on Pastebin, Brown took full responsibility for the consequences of his own actions.
"Meanwhile, those who have been in possession of the emails have promised to provide them to me alone, which is to say that everything that proceeds from now on is my own work, and not that of Anonymous," Brown, an American citizen residing in Dallas, said. "Any reprisals against anyone other than myself, then, will have no effect."
"I will be proceeding carefully and with the assistance of several parties who are equipped to assess the contents of these e-mails and particularly those portions dealing with Zeta collaborators. I'll announce the next step in a few days," Brown said.
The effort to unmask the Zetas, one of the most feared and ruthless of Mexico's drug cartels, had split the Anonymous movement in the Americas, with many members arguing in Internet chat rooms that the risk of horrible death was too great to proceed. A budding domestic effort among Mexican Internet users to expose the cartels was crushed this summer when the mutilated bodies of two bloggers were found hanging from a highway overpass, and a third was found decapitated in a park.
On Pastebin, Brown acknowledged the risk to his own life, but argued he had no choice.
"The idea that I should refrain from assisting in the naming of probable criminals operating in a foreign country without a working judicial system lest I be murdered is a cowardly sentiment," he said. "No individual living in the free world should refrain from working to fight injustice simply because there is a possibility of retaliation."
Scot Terban, a security specialist based in Connecticut who blogs as "Krypt3ia," wrote an open message to Brown that he would meet a pointless, violent end.
"Any data you have will serve no purpose. The cartel owns the government there," Tarben posted. "You will not be a hero or a martyr. You will have been just stupid." "

so i guess they won. who could had expected this.

meh Anon tried pussing out.. still not impressed.. :pokerface:
