Anonymous tricked into installing Trojan......

Water seeks it's own level...........

Anonymous supporters who willingly used their PCs to participate in the group’s Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks may have unknowingly handed over their personal e-mail and banking information in the process. In January 2012, an unnamed attacker took Slowloris, one of the DDoS attack tools popular with Anonymous supporters, and rigged it to include the Zeus Trojan. The individual copied and pasted an original Anonymous Pastebin entry offering the actual tool and replaced the download link with his own infected version. It just so happened that this post went viral among Anonymous supporters. To this day, it is still being shared on Anonymous blog posts and via Twitter.
