Anonymous has threatened to launch a coordinated cyberattack that would effectively shut down the worldwide Internet, international media outlets reported. Anonymous said the attack has been planned as a protest against "our irresponsible leaders and the beloved bankers who are starving the world for their own selfish needs out of sheer sadistic fun".

However, Robert Graham, a security expert expressed his doubt that the attack would cause much damage:

"They might affect a few of the root DNS servers, but it's unlikely they could take all of them down, at least for any period of time," Graham wrote. "On the day of their planned Global Blackout, it's doubtful many people would notice."

Meanwhile, the group promised that they will regularly attack government and corporate sites under the theme of #FFF, or Fuck the FBI Friday.

"We are already sitting on dozens of unreleased targets. Yes, each and every Friday we will be launching attacks… with the specific purpose of wiping as many corrupt corporate and government systems off our internet," the group anounced.
