Anonymous warns amateurs of the ramifications of not being able to hide their footprint if they decide to join them in their efforts:
Warning: We all know how the criminal justice system works in the USA. So, if you're new around here and are thinking about participating in online adventures against Russia yet don't know a damn thing about maintaining your own online privacy: Don't.
