Antara sebab-sebab kumpulan ini mahu menyerang adalah kerana kerajaan Malaysia telah menyekat beberapa laman web seperti Pirate Bay dan Wikileaks serta beberapa filem dan rancangan television.
Mereka juga menuduh kerajaan Malaysia adalah salah salah satu kerajaan yang sangat strict kerana mem'block' laman-laman blog ini. Mereka juga menuduh kerajaan Malaysia tidak hiraukan hak asasi manusia dalam kebebasan berinternet.
Greetings, Malaysia,
We have seen the censorship taken by the Malaysian government, blocking sites like The Pirate Bay, and WikiLeaks. Malaysia is one of the world's strictest governments, even blocking out movies, and television shows. These acts of censorship are inexcusable. You are taking away a basic human right. The internet is here for freedom, without fear of government interference. Do not think that no one else notices. Your structured government has done the talking, and we hear loud and clear. Let this be an announcement to all your people. This is a sign, a warning, and an opportunity to listen to ideas above your own. In a way you are being stubborn. But how will this help anyone or your country. We fear that if you make further decisions to take away human freedom. We are obligated to act fast and have no mercy. For rules were meant to be broken. And corruption was meant to be washed away and forgiven. Now we will wash your corruption away so be prepared. Take this as a favor.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect Us.
Hm...
So aku pun wiki la kumpulan Anonymous ni. Dari apa yang aku baca, kumpulan ini adalah sekumpulan hacker/pengodam komputer seluruh dunia. Kumpulan ini tiada ketua, dan membawa maksud, ianya tidak mempunyai organisasi.
Kerana kumpulan ini terdiri daripada aktivist atau Hacktivist, banyak juga aktiviti-aktiviti menggodam yang berjaya mereka lakukan seperti menyerang Tabung Kewangan Antarabangsa dan Sony PlayStation Network, serta rangkaian syarikat penerbangan Lockheed Martin Corp dan Citibank di Amerika Utara dan banyak lagi.
Melihat reputasi mereka dalam menggodam ini, aku fikir khamis nanti laman web Malaysia bakal di'kubu' berhabis-habisan kalau nak selamat. Kadang dah macam cerita Die Hard 4, atau V for Vendetta lak.
So, kunci jam. Pukul 3.30am hari Khamis waktu Malaysia. Tengok www.malaysia.gov.my. Apa orang-orang IT dalam kerajaan mampu buat atas serangan ini.
