As I read this thread my OS is updating automatically with new security software. Funny, someone seems to actually be taking this seriously.

I remember about 10 years ago there was a news warning NOT TO FLASH your head lights at cars that were driving without there lights on after dark because they were gang bangers. The warning stated that if you flashed the gang bangers they would follow you and shoot at you.

You know what a bunch of people did? Yup you guessed it, many dumb asses went out and drove with their lights off just to be capital A-one dicks. While others actually turned and followed cars after being flashed and some people, the redneck extremists, grabbed guns and hailed this as a war and went out looking for the gang bangers. But most did what I did and just drove normally without fear. If the news story was true, and I sincerely doubt it was, then it was a news hoax or a regular hoax. Even if it were true and there were dumb *** gang bangers out to do people harm, the chances of it happening to me or any one I knew were slim and falling.

Even if one of those gang bangers tried to shoot at one of my friends, they would have lost their lives for most of my friends, lawful people all them, pack heat and are expert shots.

I would put very little into this story. IF anything happens its because a bunch of dumb Fu** kid hackers didn't get the message that it was a hoax and figured they just didn't get the hacker memo on the Sunday circle hack. People are really dumb at times to believe what they see on TV.

If I were to send a letter to a major news organization stating that I was a hacker and my hacker minions and me are going to hack the planet on Sunday, they would run the story. It is all a joke, but the real hackers don't know this so they think "hey, I had better get in this." Thus without being a hacker I have just started a hacker event.

Using he media against itself is as easy as making stupid people do stupid things.
