‘Hacktivist’ group Anonymous is planning on creating a Denial Distribution of Service (DDOS) on major world corporations. This plan of attack is said to be in retaliation of Brazil’s spending on World Cup preparations rather than finding funds to help Brazilian citizens. Anonymous is very capable of doing these types of ‘hacks’. In fact, when PostFinance tried to freeze Julius Assange’s account, Anonymous was the group responsible of freezing the firms payment transactions.

“In an interview with news agency Reuters, one masked member of the group who called himself Che Commodore, said that preparations for a wide-scale campaign had begun.
Commodore claimed he had comprehensive knowledge of the activities of the international hacking group and gave Reuters a detailed blueprint of the companies they intend to target.
“We have a plan of attack. We have already conducted late-night tests to see which of the sites are more vulnerable … This time we are targeting the sponsors of the World Cup,” he told the agency.
These sponsors include major corporations such as Coca Cola, Budweiser, Emirates Airlines and Adidas.
Commodore claims that in one of their tests earlier this week the group hacked into the Brazilian Foreign Ministry’s server and leaked dozens of confidential documents.
He said the hacker AnonManifest used a Trojan virus to get into the Foreign Ministry’s databases and steal the email accounts of several diplomats.
Commodore claimed 333 documents were released – the biggest cyber-security breach in Brazil since it was found the NSA had accessed President Dilma Roussef’s email account.
In response to the claims, a Foreign Ministry official told Reuters that 55 email accounts were accessed and the only documents that were obtained were attached to emails and those from the ministry’s internal document archive.”
