Thanks as always for your speedy response.
Somehow the West Coast is not as good as reporting info on the
alleged bomb threat as I would hope. The only info I’m getting outside of
Anon tweets is from the Leiderman Devine law firm, that was at the San Jose
Federal Building.
Given that I’m the only one working on this right now,
that means info is limited on both sides. I’d love to try to write a
fucking “OMG DID ANONYMOUS TAKE DOWN FACEBOOK TODAY LULZ?”
conspiracy article right now, but I don’t have enough coffee, time or
resources. Anyway, thank you for your help. If you do hear anything concrete,
please holler at me. I’m CC’ing my gmail here, cooldudemcrad@gmail.com
Care to talk any more about tomorrow? Fuck FBI Friday again? I’ll
be most likely sitting around my apartment drinking tonight, so if you feel
like discussing anything, let me know. I’ll keep my eyes on tweets and
the like. Mayhaps I’ll see you in tinychat or something.
As always, feel free to tell me what you can, when you can, what
you want to. Always appreciated.
Best
Andrew

I don't know exactly how they
did it, but I don't think it was a DDOS. Facebook was inaccessible to many
users, including myself, for about 15 minutes, as The Washington Post noted
today. This comes on the morning of the hearing for the Paypal DDOS defendants;
incidentally, I was busy corresponding with one of the lawyers and Anon operatives
that were present, so I didn't have a chance to ask around about this Facebook
matter. Also keep in mind that the courthouse itself was evacuated after some
sort of event - even those present still don't know what it was, but the
Department of Homeland Security seemed to have been called in.

Hey
dude,
Can
you confirm that this takedown was a Facebook action? Want to make any
statements? Been trying to dig stuff up for the last hour but not getting a
lot.
Thanks,
Andrew
