"Occupy Wall Street" has sparked controversy and rage all over the internet over the past few days and there doesn't appear to be an end in sight.
And things could get a lot worse October 10th. The hacktivist group "Anonymous" has released a youtube video vowing to erase the New York Stock Exchange.
"On Oct. 10, NYSE shall be erased from the Internet. On Oct. 10, expect a day that will never, ever be forgotten"
The threat is in response to an earlier warning from Anonymous about the police brutality during the protests. The group intends to use their voluntary bot network or as they can it, their low orbit cannon, to perform a distributed denial of service attack on NYSE servers.
These are bold claims and anonymous has been known for their power in numbers in the past. It has yet to be seen if this is legitimate as is often the case when dealing with a group called Anonymous.
