The “hacktivist” group, Anonymous, posted a mission statement to Pastebin on June 12 describing the reasoning behind their planned and upcoming attack on official Malaysian government websites. Anonymous warned, “We fear that if you make further decisions to take away human freedom, we [will be] obligated to act fast and have no mercy.”
Anonymous claims that Malaysia is preventing the free distribution of information by censoring its internet, calling it “one of the world’s strictest governments,” similar to the reasoning behind their recent attacks on Turkish government websites, after which 32 people—who the Turkish government claimed were members of Anonymous—were arrested.
Sources within Anonymous revealed several details in an exclusive interview with the Epoch Times on the upcoming action, organization, and target selection process of the group.
Anonymous revealed that target countries are selected based on input from users in those countries, however when asked whether or not there were Anonymous in Malaysia, they responded only that “[We] cannot give you that info.”
They further revealed that certain countries, however notorious for internet censorship, like China, are incredibly difficult to attack because they do not have many users who are based in the country and therefore do not have effective inside sources to relay information. The group says an attack on China might come someday, but not any time soon.
Sources within Anonymous went on to say they understand that the Malaysian government will “not be happy” and are anticipating a negative reaction. In order to remain covert and prepare for the operation, Anonymous have been advising all of their participants to use Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) in order to encrypt their network connections and transfer their data from remote locations that cannot be accessed without authentication.
The sources say that users who have been arrested before failed to use VPNs or other security measures to protect their identities. Anonymous does respond when their members are detained however.
The group retaliated against Spain on Friday for arresting three of its members by taking down the Spanish official police website—the effort being known as OpPolicia—for “a combined total of a lot more than an hour”, contrary to what some news sources reported.
The sources said that even now, “OpTurkey”, the continuation of efforts against the Turkish government in response to the arrests made in Turkey, was underway. One member said, “I cannot speak for the future of the operation, but currently [the site that is targeted] has been down for 1 hour already and it seems more popular than OpPolicia, and it looks like the target’s server is crap, so it might stay down for some time.”
They revealed that they fear “being backtracked” and do worry about getting caught, however they feel safer knowing that “there is a liberating faith” in the nature of Anonymous. One member stated “It’s what makes it fun though.”
The nature of Anonymous is most accurately described in their name. They view themselves as less of a real group and more of a collective of voices who speak out and protest against censorship and what they believe are efforts to suppress the freedom of speech and information. The composition of their membership may vary from day to day and anyone can be a part of anonymous at any time without any real or permanent stake.
When asked if they had a large user base in the Middle East, they responded, “[our] groups aren’t groups, they’re scattered everywhere. We don’t even know.”
The sources also stated that they have had interaction with another hacker group which has been making headlines, LulzSec. However, they stated that they have not been involved with any of LulzSec’s activities nor has LulzSec been involved with Anonymous operations.
They did state that in a sense, LulzSec are also “Anons” because they share a similar root. “They are Anons,” however, “LulzSec has nothing to do with Anonymous, apart that they sprang of the same base.”
Anonymous continues to affirm that “we’re trying to loosen the ties on Malaysia’s government and its internet censorship.”
According to purported Anonymous images circulating around the web, the attack on Malaysia is to commence on June 15th.

Gaia Framework for Adobe Flash
Version 3.2.6 - Release Date 04.12.2011
Gaia 3.2.6 switches to using Greensock's swc, Pages class now uses ids not titles, you can now exit a project without saving, cleans up the AS3 code via FDT, fixes a bug where site-wide ApplicationDomain wasn't working, Demonster Debugger native support has been removed, and Gaia is now under MIT License. 3.2.6 also fixes the errors thrown about DemonsterDebugger, and with GaiaSWFAddress.as
What is the Gaia Framework for Adobe Flash?
Speed Up Your Workflow
Gaia is an open-source front-end Flash Framework for AS3 and AS2 designed to dramatically reduce development time.
With Gaia's revolutionary scaffolding engine, you can build a fully functional Flash site in less than 10 minutes without writing a single line of Actionscript!
Code Less, Do More
Gaia is packed with features and provides a simple way to do all the things you do on every Flash site including:
* Navigation
* Transitions
* Preloading
* Asset Management
* Dynamic Font Loading
Gaia has built-in deeplinking with SWFAddress, and is fully integrated with SWFObject so you don't have to write any HTML, CSS or Javascript. Gaia also uses SWFWheel which gives you full mouse scroll wheel support on all platforms and browsers!
Work The Way You Like
Gaia stays out of your way. There are only two conventions, which are familiar to most Flash developers: transition in, and transition out. How you implement these functions is up to you. You can even choose to not use Gaia's transition engine and still take advantage of Gaia's other features!
Easy And Powerful
Gaia is a natural extension that builds on what you already know about Flash development. Learning the basics is easy, and as your needs grow, Gaia grows with you.
Most Flash frameworks are back-end frameworks, or require senior level coding experience to use. Gaia stands out because it focuses on front-end development. It is easy enough for novice Flash developers, yet powerful enough that advanced coders can use it without feeling limited.
Search Engine Optimization
Gaia's SEO Scaffolding is as simple as clicking a button and has an elegant and unique solution of using a single XHTML file which serves as both the data source and the embed page for each page in your site.
Established and Supported
Gaia has been used to build thousands of sites worldwide by top digital agencies for high profile clients.
Check out the gallery for just a few examples.
Gaia's documentation is robust, and filled with sample code, demo sites, ASDocs, lessons. The forum is populated with developers from around the world ready to assist you, and the author visits the forums regularly throughout the day.
Ease Into Learning AS3
Moving to AS3 is a big leap for many people, especially designers. Gaia eases you into it by providing a working platform for you to start from. You can focus on learning AS3 in bite-size increments, instead of the overwhelming challenge of building an entire site from scratch. Gaia is like "training wheels" when you're learning to ride a bike, and soon, you'll be riding on your own.
