Makes one wonder whether the espionage going on here is due to anonymous being infiltrated by the feds or some other Govt secret organization,which just so happened to have info about leaked by wiki leaks this past week,either way it's got the hallmarks of a Hollywood block buster,you just can't write stuff like this,i look forward to tomorrows episode of the continuing saga

Which is it, "contained a nasty trojan that was stealing financial information from anyone who installed it." or "contained an insidious Trojan that was stealing financial info from people using it."??? :-)

I would guess that enough time has now passed that Department of Defense cybersecurity now knows the names and locations of Anonymous and any friends.
It is likely that Israel is involved in the reprisals upon Anonymous.
I've said it before in these forums; criminal hacker groups like these should be hunted down and prosecuted. They are dong nothing for The People. Their actions are all self-aggrandizement.

Bit of a hater, aren't you?
First you said that people should steal the unwholesome crap put out by Hollywood because they deserve it...
Now you are hating on Anon?

Hmmm, I am a "hater" because I feel the people should not be terrorized by Anon, big gov, big corp.
If that makes me a hater, I wear it proudly.
