BBC News : Anonymous hackers attack US security firm HBGary

"Online activist group Anonymous has targeted an American security firm that claimed to know the identities of its leaders.
The secretive organisation is being investigated in several countries over strikes on Visa, PayPal and others.
Over the weekend Aaron Barr, head of HBGary Federal, said he had discovered the names of its most senior figures." ~unknown

Now I have no problem with people speaking out for what they feel is right or believe in. I also understand protecting yourself, when you do so. But there are certain times that we must control what we do to that end. I am not condemning nor am I condoning what Anonymous did. But I have to ask, is there a line at which even they won't cross. This just makes me wonder are any of us safe with them doing what they are. They could bring it all crashing down on our heads. That may be the point of what they do. Anarchy. Dissonance. George Carlin would be happy with them. Everyone should be careful.
