While there have been some small cyber attacks launched against the billionaire presidential candidate since this 'declaration,' none have been so significant until earlier this month. On March 5, the hacktivist collective released Trump's voicemail messages showing how the liberal media is supporting his campaign.
The move to hack the voicemail of Trump was bombshell. And now, Anonymous has vowed to relaunch cyber-operations against the US presidential candidate starting April 1.
"Dear Donald Trump, we have been watching you for a long time and what we see is deeply disturbing. Your inconsistent and hateful campaign has not only shocked the United States of America [but] you have shocked the entire planet with your appalling actions and ideas. You say what your audience wants to hear but in reality you don't stand for anything except for your personal greed and power," the video states.The video is a call to arms for hacktivists worldwide to join together and "dismantle his campaign."
"We need you to shut down his websites, to research and expose what he doesn't want the public to know. We need to dismantle his campaign and sabotage his brand. We are encouraging every able person with a computer to participate in this operation. This is not a warning, this is a declaration of total war. Donald Trump - it is too late to expect us."Anonymous has listed the targets of their attack online, as well as the resources necessary to carry out them out.
