After initial mixed signals, it appears that online hacker collective Anonymous has decided to take on Mexico's most violent and feared drug cartel, the Zetas, which could put the drug gang in a tight spot.
In just the past few days, rumors of a showdown between Anonymous and the Zetas drug cartel have been the subject of a veritable media frenzy. Speculation about the scope of the confrontation abounds, fueled by several conflicting reports about the "hacktivist" group's intentions.
The source of the confusion is a YouTube video which was posted on October 6 by one "MrAnonymousguyfawkes," which shows a masked speaker accusing the Zetas in Veracruz of having kidnapped a member of Anonymous in that state. As retribution, the individual claims that Anonymous will expose Zetas-linked police officers, officials, and journalists unless their associate is released. "You made a great mistake in taking one of us; release him and if something happens to him, you [expletive] will remember the 5th of November."
