"Kayla" is actually a guy; the identity itself was a troll. He's a hacker but not particularly brilliant, spends most of his time socializing. I have no idea where the CNET thing came from and neither does anyone else to whom I've spoken. Many of us have gotten sick of anonops due to the drama, attacks, feds, and server problems and have moved over to anonworld.net #anonworld, where we're working on OpMetalGear and other things.

Got it.

Isn't Kayla a meme, as in a name and gender given to troll the media? Also,
any idea who trolled CNET?

That planned attack seems off to me, considering there has been no
announcement or recruitment. Likewise, there is too much heat. Just doesn't
seem to fit.

I was on IRC earlier, but my ISP is jacking me (throttled on the normal
ports) when I stay too long.
