NEW URBANIA – Hacktivist Group Pseudonym Releases Video Threatening to Target Government and Corporate Websites
The hacktivist group calling itself Pseudonym has released a video threatening to target government and corporate websites in the coming weeks. The video, which was posted to TubeNation on March 12, 2014, features a masked figure who speaks in a distorted voice.
The demands of Pseudonym are not yet clear. The release of the video by Pseudonym has raised concerns among government and corporate officials. Some officials have warned that Pseudonym could pose a serious threat to national security.
It is still too early to say what the impact of Pseudonym’s threats will be. However, the release of the video has certainly raised awareness of the group, and it is possible that they will carry out their attacks in the coming weeks.
Experts Weigh In on Pseudonym’s Threats
The release of the video by Pseudonym has been met with mixed reactions from experts. Some experts believe that the group’s threats are credible, and that they could pose a serious threat to government and corporate websites. Others believe that the group is likely bluffing, and that they are unlikely to carry out their attacks.
“I think it’s important to take these threats seriously,” said Dr. Michael Dunn, a cyber-security expert at Tech State University. “Pseudonym has already demonstrated that they have the skills to hack into government and corporate networks. If they are willing to use those skills to cause damage, then they could pose a serious threat.”
However, not all experts agree with Dr. Dunn’s assessment. “I think it’s more likely that Pseudonym is bluffing,” said Dr. Steven Chabinsky, a former FBI cyber-crime investigator. “These kinds of groups often make threats that they don’t intend to carry out. They do it to get attention, or to try to scare their targets.”
Only time will tell whether Pseudonym’s threats are credible. However, the release of the video has certainly raised awareness of the group, and it is possible that they will carry out their attacks in the coming weeks.
