Anonymous vs. Mexican Drug Cartel

Posted by Stefan • Monday, October 31. 2011 • Category: Hacktivism

After Anonymous made headlines for going after pedophiles two weeks ago, yesterday they again surprised us with their latest nemesis: Zeta, a Mexican drug cartel in the state of Veracruz. Zeta apparently abducted one of their activists from a street protest and now Anonymous is threatening the cartel to publish names of politicians, judges, journalists and other people supporting the cartel if Zeta doesn't release him immediately. It remains to be seen how the cartel will react, but Anonymous demonstrated they aren't joking and defaced the first web site yesterday, claiming Gustavo Rosario Torres, the former attorney general of the state of Tabasco, is involved with the syndicate (screenshot).
