I read about it, it's a very big undertaking and I highly doubt they're even going to make a dent into Facebook. Some of Anonymous doesn't even agree with or want to go through with this operation. My estimate is (and this is pretty generous, IMO) 460,000 anons actually going through with this. That being said, Facebook can easily take this extra load of traffic. Facebook has 60,000 servers and serves 600,000 pictures a second (from 2009).

60,000 servers and 460,000 anons. With load balancing, that's roughly 7 people attacking per server. With Facebook's server hardware and customized HTTP/MySQL servers, this is a very poor attack.

tl;dr, Facebook isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
EDIT: Not 30,000 servers, now it's 60,000.

Well, it wasn't just one guy, and it's not just one guy now. Besides, I don't believe Anonymous is part of LulzSec, but rather LulzSec is part of Anonymous.

Neither of these is true.
LulzSec was completely seperate, and as far as I know the "leader" is standing trial at the moment.

If Facebook does happen to go for good, I'd actually be quite happy. It's irritating, and although I wouldn't leave now, I do consider it

The funny thing is that Anonymous is actually ANNOUNCING that they're going to pull off an attack on a DEFINED date, just so Facebook can beef up their servers for November 5th and when it fails, Anon can say "trololo we weren't gonna attack anyway" :lol:

I've got an account, but if they were to succeed, I wouldn't care. Best of luck to them.
