Following the police raid last week in Stockholm, which resulted in the confiscation of the servers of the Pirate Bay website, Anonymous intend to launch a campaign against the Swedish government's websites.
The first message for the #OpPirateBay campaign was posted in Pastebin on Monday, announcing that the team will not remain idle.
"Movie groups and other companies have been pressuring the police force for years to take down the site [The Pirate Bay], to no avail. But it now seems that the police have chosen to go against our rights and strip citizens of the most basic human right. This cannot, and will not go unnoticed. We must take action against this intrusion of our rights. The time to act is now!” mentions the text in Pastebin.
Today, however, a new message has been posted inviting them Anonymous of all world να ξεκινήσουν μια μαζική επίθεση ενάντια σε όλες τις websites belonging to the Swedish authorities and infecting them with viruses.
The reason, as mentioned in the message posted on Pastebin, is again the raid at The Pirate Bay, which is not considered acceptable by the group, which does not tolerate all kinds of censorship.
We do not know whether these actions will balance the situation, as the authorities will continue to do their job, regardless of the threats that are being published.
