Anonymous targets Activision CEO after Call of Duty insult

4.8

The Anonymous hacker collective is now targeting Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg after the release of trailers for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 in which Anonymous is implied to be America’s new enemy in a dystopian future war scenario.

The video flashes images of the Guy Fawkes mask clad Anonymous member, making a not-so-subtle assertion that hacker collectives will be behind what Oliver North called a “nightmare scenario.”

“If you can hack a bank, you can hack a drone,” says UAV pilot Maj. Hercules Christopher as the Guy Fawkes mask appears again in another video that is part of the ad campaign.

Anonymous has posted a document on peoplesliberationfront.net detailing Hirshberg’s private information, including his home address, phone number and email address. The post also includes his total compensation for 2010, totaling $13.9 million.

“So Activision Why you done goofed? We are not the enemy but, well you want it you got it. Eric Hirshberg DOX. #OpPirateAllActivision,” read the post, DOX referring to a dump of personal data.

Twitter account YourAnonNews jeered at the implication of Anonymous posture itself as America’s future war enemy as well.

“If #Anonymous are the bad guys in CoD how will it be an FPS (first person shooter) anymore? We do nawt fight with gunz. We haz lazerz 4 dat,” read the tweet. the video can be seen below

TheMoDiiFii3r i used to like anonymous now theyre like so sensitive and ****...
theyre bunch of ****... come out and i will beat the crap of them... bunch of fat nerds with glasses

Most of them actually lead normal lives with healthy friendships, good jobs and good health. They only deface websites in an act of protest because they are righting for your rights and if you don't appreciate that then you're the @rsehole!!!

How could you possibly know that ?

Please do tell how you know that and where did you get that information, source? and do you know them? how do you know they are fighting for your rights? do you remember a small team that came from anon called lulz? they didnt fight for our rights, they just wanted money and always said the same thing you just said

how about you leave the worthless to defend for themselves and you protect yourself? isnt that a motto to go by? from today's standards of course

i am well aware of what they are fighting for and all...

They are only really acting in self defense. Imagine if you were shown in a video as 'Americas Enemy'.

Oh give me a break! The members of ANON that are actually experienced and know what they're doing when it comes to taking down websites could give a shit about this.

Ringer17 OK lets put a rest to this, anonymous only did this because black ops 2's trailer supported the us governments views that Anonymous is a terrorist organisation.

Anonymous is not a terrorist organisation and only seeks to better human life by fighting for human rights. [examples of this could be sopa/pipa of which were acts trying to control your life on the internet in particular aspects]

Because Anonymous is thousands upon thousands of individuals instead of an actual organisation one or two found it fun or suitable to get "their own back" on Activision.

Don't blame the entirety of Anonymous as they do only wish to help and protect everyone's best interest. Blame the idiot/s who thought exploiting someone's personal information was the best way to get back at generalising. [Don't care if you hate.]

I agree O_o

Leave Activision alone and go back to PSN :)

-Spirit please provide proof of one thing that anonymous has done for human rights ?

Anonymous (The people) in protest of an act which threatens freedom and fundamental human rights by controlling what people can and cannot do on the internet(ACTA). Anonymous gave birth to a society of which now people who don't know each other can group together to voice their opposition to such a ludicrous act which restricts our rights and personal use of the internet. Anonymous has allowed people of all ages, races, nationalities, religion and sexual orientation to group together and stand up for what they believe in regardless of their own personal identity.

Proof enough?

Yes anonymous does do somethings right but that doesn't justify all the illegal things they do on a day-to-day basis
