Anonymous and Team Poison start Op Robin Hood
HACKERS Team Poison have joined forces with Anonymous to launch Operation Robin Hood, an assault on banks that should see funds channeled back to the disenfranchised 99 per cent.
"We have watched our brothers and sisters being refused their hard earned money by the banks on top of being beaten and brutalized by officers during peaceful demonstrations. Congratulations banks, you have gotten our attention," says a message jointly signed by Team Poison and Anonymous.
"Banks have stolen millions from [their] customers as well as lacked the security to protect them. We give you Operation Robin Hood."
Operation Robin Hood is launched in support of those protesters at the Occupy sit-ins across the globe and anyone that has suffered at the hands of the banks. The two parties said that they will take money from credit cards and give it to those who have been cheated by the banks.
"Operation Robin Hood is going to return the money to those who have been cheated by our system and most importantly to those hurt by our banks. Operation Robin Hood will take credit cards and donate to the 99 [per cent] as well as various charities around the globe. The banks will be forced to reimburse the people [their] money back," their announcement says.
"We are going to take what belongs to us. The Banks have thrown people out on the streets with corrupted actions. When the poor steals, it's considered violence, but when the banks steal from us, it's called business."
The attacks will not harm individuals, according to the statement, and will rely on the fact that banks must refund fraudulent charges on credit cards. Having already hacked into some banking organisations before Team Poison is confident that it will be able to do so again.
"We are going to make the banks deliver your money back to you with a smile on their faces and hate in their heart," it adds.
"Join us in Operation Robin Hood. Take from the banks and give to the poor. Our actions will be swift. It's time for the people to rise up and the banks to remember who they work for. It's time we fight back.... We are done asking politely. Banks, you have got the attention of the Hydra of the internet that has grown fangs of poison. The only question now, is do they expect us?"
Knowing Anonymous this last question is moot, because they should have. µ

Obviously a remake of "One Flew over the cuckoos nest is in the pipeline" is happening right now.
We hear this all the time, big ideas, but nothing really comes from it.
I think the reason they are going to credit cards is that they are far easier than any other type of banking as they do not have to hack the banks' systems to get them. They can hack a number of websites that are not nearly as well protected.
I have had my credit card details swiped before. It really was a waste of my time. @Sam is right, it harms small business more than banks or corporates as they have insurance and other measures to protect against losses.
Stolen "millions"? Goldman Sachs & Cons are now officially taking over the ECB. Folks, we are talking about trillions!
1790 Free:Slaves 4:1
All US money belong to "the 99%"
2011 Free:Slaves 1:99.
All US money + the debt of US citizens + printing press belong to "the 1%".
So average Joe and Janes who are far from the big dirty politics would like to ask if US Founding Fathers actually intended to achieve something like this?
In theory it sounds great.
Banks are the life blood of Capitalism.
No blood, no Capitalism.......
'cept you forgot one important factor.
Who's money$$ are you stealing?
In reality its the 99% er's who have their money $$ inside the belly of the beast....
Soooooowhen you steal and transfer the money back to the 99%, you are essentially stealing their money$$ and giving it back to them.
And who decides where the money goes.
My 90 year old mother has her life inside of the bank.
If you take money out of banks ,you are stealing from my mother, and unfortunately as an anarchist myself, I would be forced to find out who did this and take matters in my own hands.
Find another way!!!!
Fraudulent charges on cards (card not present/internet use of card) are charged back to the businesses (merchants) that accept the card/charge, not to the banks. This won't hurt the banks at all, just the merchants who unknowingly accept charges when these on-line terrorists have all the card info, address info, CVC codes, etc that make a merchant/small business thing these cards think they are real transactions.
I've been saying for years that white-hat hackers will be the freedom fighters of the 21st century. Much can be done for the cause of good.
However, this action is ill thought out and will backfire on them/us. Bankers are the absolute, most powerful people on the planet. Some argue that these very elites have, themselves, already engaged in multiple false-flag terrorist events to orchestrate an eroding of our personal freedoms in the real world. What do you all think they'll do with something like this? By the time they're owned and controlled main stream press get done spinning this to the average Joe and Jane on the street, the bankers will be couched as our saviors offering their reluctant but must-have changes that need to be put in place for all our very survival. Prepare for positive, biometric id's for online access and a new, more secure (cashless) global banking system as the likely result of these misguided initiatives. We'll all be tagged and tracked like as if we're the powers that be's owned chattel. Which has been their ultimate intentions all along. Is this a banker initiated Hegelian dialectic scenario being played out with the Poisonanon planners being either their willing co-conspiriters or just unwitting yet well meaning dupes? Are Poisonanon actually working for them in some way, or what? The result will surely look that way. The bankers hold all the cards. They can now do what they will to cause havoc to their own system and customers then blame it all on Poisonanon.
Never screw with people's money when you can't control how the press will spin it. Better yet,
NEVER SCREW WITH PEOPLE'S MONEY FOR ANY REASON!!
There are better ways to fight their corruption than screwing with people's money.
I think Anonymous is awesome. Our Government is so corrupt and broken that any REAL changes that could be made are simply going to be so drastic that they will inevitably incorporate a Robin Hood'esque mentality. Unless, of course, you guys think these last few hundred years of tit for tat have been satisfactory to a sufficient enough people to justify the 'casualties.' I don't. I think there is more pain and suffering caused by systemic failure than half of you are willing to admit. In fact, I think there is something about our human nature that selectively trivializes the negatives of our own Country (i.e. Patriotism, an exploit in an abstract human emotion called Pride, where one illogically is biased regardless of the facts), and flaunts the positives in a disproportionate light. I love my World. I love all Humans. I hate all forms of modern day governments. Either they're outright oppressive, or they are oppressive in a way that takes advantage of human fallacies.
As Governments continue to strong-arm their 'controls' into the digital world, you will see, as most of you have already, a continuing degradation in privacy and free speech. Most of this is well intended, as are most evils of the world, but without a balance, the slippery slope of the government acting like our parents and institutionalizing us in a system with vague freedoms. Anonymous is there to restore balance to an already poisoned system. Even making these comments is borderline risky for someone. Even though i am involved in nothing illegal myself, you better believe my name is on some watch list just for the 'truthful' comments I make on public forums. All I have to say, you can sit in your cozy caves, ignorant to the spiderwebs spun around you, until finally you can't move and it's too late.
Fortunately, Alan, unlike you, they seem to know the difference between a credit card and a debit card.
I think David's post if more sensible except, I doubt they'll harvest their own credit card details. It would make sense to hack any one of the dodgy providers of such things.
Unless, of course, the underbelly of the interspazz is more secure than the banks...
I'm all for going after crooks. The thing with the bank heist is that in their business model, service charges go up to make up for any losses incurred by theft, so Anon will actually cause poor peoples banking service charge rates to go even higher.
They should really target the wealth of US Congressman, Senators, Front groups for Radical Right and Left Wingers, and Greedy corrupt Lobbyists and their corporations.
The idea that this will only hurt the banks is utter nonsense. My debit card number was used by fraudsters a few days ago. This caused me a lot of grief, not least because I lost the use of my card for several days while I was away from home. I'm still in the process of reclaiming the stolen money and that takes time and adds to my phone bill.
I could also easily have ended up with direct debits or cheques bouncing during the time it takes for the bank to refund the stolen money.
Well, speaking as someone who has just had their CC blocked since MasterCard have been informed its number has potentially been obtained by fraudsters (I'm assuming its the Steam hack) and am waiting for new card/number to arrive then while I may not be out of pocket due to this not having access to my CC for 1-2 weeks is pretty inconvenient.
Right, they are going steal from the banks and give back to the 99%. Pigs to fly soon, also. Somebody's on drugs.
