[GNU/Linux-discussion] Rapid Action on Anonymous OS fraud

[A. Mani]

from softpedia

______________________________________________

We've informed you yesterday, March 15th, about a fake operating
system based on the Ubuntu OS and the MATE desktop environment, called
Anonymous-OS. Based on Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot), the Anonymous-OS
Live CD was designed to be a Linux distribution packed with "hacking"
tools for "checking the security of web pages".

It's creators were pretending to be part of the famous Anonymous cult.
Wrong! The legit members of Anonymous warned people, via their Twitter
channel, that the Anonymous-OS is fake and it is wrapped in trojans.

"Seeing lots of news about just-released purported "Anonymous OS." BE
CAREFUL! Remember the Zeus Trojan incident w/Slowloris recently!" -
said Anonymous on Twitter.

Therefore, we're reporting today, March 16th, that the popular
SourceForge hosting site took action and closed the project page of
the Anonymous-OS Live CD, removing the downloads from their servers.
