Hackers vs. Drug Gang in Mexico

Hackers take on Mexican drug gang the Zetas.

The hacker group Anonymous, best known for taking down credit card companies and Sony's PlayStation network, have turned their cyber sights on one of Mexico's most-feared drug gangs, the Zetas.

Apparently, a member of Anonymous was kidnapped by the Zetas and the hackers are demanding his release by November 5th or the group will release the names of taxi drivers, journalists and local police who cooperate with the drug cartel. The Zetas, of course, are not to be trifled with - they are responsible for numerous incidents of hair-raising violence throughout Mexico and apparently some members of Anonymous aren't interested in going toe-to-toe with them. Stay tuned.
