Anonymous Mounts Legal Protest Against PayPal

Anonymous has PayPal in its crosshairs but this time it’s using a legal strategy to battle the online payment processor. Following PayPal’s recent comments about the Antisec movement, the hackers are asking people to voluntarily close their PayPal accounts.

The hacking group hopes to get 10,000 people to support their anti-PayPal movement. Anonymous admits it probably won’t hurt PayPal’s bottom line, but it may cause the payment company to take notice of the power of group activism. The group also hints that this is the first piece. Who knows what they have up their sleeve next for PayPal. [Jaded Security via Anonymous]

      If you dont know: “PayPal stopped payments to the ‘wikileaks’ site, i.e. stopped charitable donations, and stopped people giving money to something that they believed in”

      If you are a troll: “I dont care”
