Anonymous Was Not Behind The Recent Attack on Facebook

Couple of days before the famous and largest social network of the world, facebook was under Porn and Gore Exploit. On that time it was doubted that Hacktivist Anonymous was behind this attack. Later it was found that there was no connection between Anonymous and Facebook. BitDefender security researcher George Petre tweeted that "I don't think that every Facebook scam is related to Fawkes Virus,". Facebook later confirmed that it had been hit with "a coordinated spam attack that exploited a browser vulnerability," but said it had identified those responsible.

In a note posted to Pastebin by "AnonymousWiki," the writer denied the hack, or the "Fawkes Virus" effort, was behind the Facebook outbreak.

Anon Said:-

"As we all know Operation Facebook was fake from the beginning. However some are experiencing an outbreak of pornography on Facebook. This is leading some to speculate that Anonymous is responsible for this, calling this outbreak the "Fawkes Virus". I assure you that Anonymous involvement with this is highly untrue. The fake operation (Operation Facebook) had a goal to "completely destroy Facebook" or take the site down off the web using forms of DDoS. As of now this is not occurring. Facebook is not experiencing any type of downtime nor is it completely destroyed. It is also past the due date of Operation Facebook (November 5th). So unless Operation Facebook changed its date of executing its purpose & changed its purpose entirely, this issue with Facebook does not involve Anonymous."
