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

That Anons are over reacting. This can only make their rep worse. It's like, "HEY! WE'RE NOT THE BAD GUYS! WE'RE GONNA HACK YOU FOR SAYING THAT WE ARE!" Seriously?

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


They are only really acting in self defense. Imagine if you were shown in a video as 'Americas Enemy'.
Only reason these cod fanboys care is if they miss out on call of duty oh dear what a bunch of saddos

would you still say that if they do something about this video? probably take down CoD servers...
Hmmmmmm....
thats what i thought....


They can get all info on Activision members and release it, including CCN's and addresses as well as phone #'s
well you know how to stop that just dont play the game what an ide lets do that

IBL1TzZI Wow what a bunch of tw*ts, i reckon anonymous is just a bunch of sweaty fat teenager sitting in their rooms all day and because they've never moved an inch they've gained all these hacking skills from spending their whole life on a computer and not outside with a life.
hope you get hacked you have great prosumptions all you care about is playing cod obviously

The COD fanboys arent happy about this purely because they dont want to miss out on the next cod in the series argh i used to like cod, now its just to commercial the last three have been well s**t tbh and this new one i havent even had chance to get into it because its thats boring. The only way this next cod would be any good is if they have add something totaly different to the mix like with cod 4 with the perks etc, if you ask me they should add something very new and different and they should come up with the idea beacuse well its there job! all they did with mw3 was take there existing ideas and well slightly changed them its okay but not WOW like you exspect from a massive game company like this

If being thought of as a murderer is a reason to be "stoked" then yes they feel like they are the "koolest". seriously think things through.
