Am I the only one who thinks this sounds completely out of character for LulzSec / Anonymous? They aren't stupid. They surely know that waging war against Facebook would be silly. I'd bet this is someone completely different, looking to pose as Anonymous. Try looking at the sources --- you won't be able to trace it back to an announcement by Anonymous. So who are these guys?

No, you aren't. In fact if I'm not mistaken, this notice was first released yesterday, in spanish. I'm not 100% sure though.

  Can you link the original one in Spanish?

    Not sure if it is the first one but: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp-V47iFoDo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp-V47iFoDo It's seems it's even older than I thought. EDIT: Rough translation: ---- Greetings, world. We are anonymous. In this short time lapse, we've heard and saw the panic of Facebook progrmmers. It seems that now they are offering US$ 500 to find errors on their webpage. It is clear that nothing of this is real. They only do this to make the world believe that they have the power, and nothing can be done against them. As we have said before, we are tired of Facebook stealing people's information and selling it to powerful people like pieces of paper. This regime has come to an end. Facebook will cease to exist. In November 5th the Facebook Operation will take place succesfully, and nothing will be able to stop it. We are anonymous, we are legion. We don't forget, we don't forgive. Expect us. ---- Now that I listen to it carefully, the way they put it sounds pretty weird, to say the least.

This is the same fallacy that news and government organizations are making: Anonymous isn't constrained to be any particular group of people.

"Uh, who do we hate besides the government? They can, you know, arrest us and stuff." ... "Facebook! Yeah, let's get fucking Facebook! I hate Zuckerberg, all young and successful." Sounds about right to me. Seemingly random target fits their MO.

No, you aren't. It didn't "sound like Anonymous" for me, having watched their previous releases on other AnonOps campaings.
