Turkish Police Nab 32 Suspects Tied To Anonymous

wiredmikey writes "Following the arrest of three alleged 'Anonymous' members by Spanish authorities on Friday, Turkey's state-run news agency has reported that police have detained 32 individuals allegedly linked to the hacktivist group. The Anatolia news agency said today that the suspects were taken into custody after conducting raids in a dozen cities for suspected ties to Anonymous. The group recently targeted Web sites of the country's telecommunications watchdog, the prime minister's office and parliament as a protest to Turkey's plans to introduce Internet filters."

A suspiciously round number.

Thirty-two? That is a suspiciously round number.

Conspiracy theorists will be happy.

Now the real "lulz" begin for those hacktivists.

As they called it in Office Space: Federal pound-you-in-the-ass prison. No conjugal visits, either. Better beat someone up on their first day.

it's also possible that Turkey is cracking down on dissidents, using Anonymous as a cover story.

A fine upstanding nation like Turkey,

Surely you jest.

Identify someone in Anonymous?

Once you identify an individual member of anonymous don't they immediately cease being a member?

Little did they know that Anonymous has already upgraded to a 64-bit hacktivist system. Long gone are the days of the 2-bit hacktivist.

Do you think a member of Anonymous would be getting a conjugal visit if he wasn't in prison?
