A couple of weeks ago, Anonymous posted a video announcing Operation Fox Hunt:

“Fox News is now a target of Anonymous because of their continued propaganda against the Occupations. Those such as Sean Hannity are attacking the credentials as well as the character of the Occupiers and this can no longer be allowed. […]

“Anonymous will not only shut down Fox News, we will also engage in a propaganda campaign of our own to show them how it feels to be chastised. Fox News, your time has come.”

The target date for the cyber-attack was November 5. So far as I know Fox News continued to broadcast throughout the weekend and their web site remained accessible. However, the Fox Nation web site no longer has a place to login and there are no comments on any posting, even those that go back months.

Could Anonymous be responsible for this? Might Fox have just removed those features to prevent any mischief? Is it just a period of scheduled maintenance? Only Guy Fawkes knows for sure.
