Great, Another 651 Idiots Learn That “Anonymous” Doesn’t Mean Shit

Oh look, Operation Red Card 2.0. Because the first Red Card apparently wasn’t enough of a clusterfuck for these mouth-breathers to get the message. Interpol and a bunch of African law enforcement agencies just rounded up 651 of the world’s finest keyboard warriors—presumably the same genetic dead-ends who think “Nigerian Prince” is still a solid career path in 2024.

Apparently these fucking geniuses were running the usual gamut of cyber-shithousery: online fraud, business email compromise, and whatever other digital scams they could cobble together between power outages and trying to remember which password they wrote on the Post-it note stuck to their monitor. Six hundred and fifty-one arrests. That’s not a crime sweep, that’s a fucking convention of people who failed the Turing test.

You know what really grinds my gears? These bastards probably think they’re masterminds because they can install a RAT or send a phishing email with “URGENT” in the subject line. Newsflash, you digital dipshits: You’re not hackers, you’re just spammers with too much time and not enough brain cells. The fact that it took an “operation” to catch you says less about your sophistication and more about how fucking obvious you were being.

And sure, the authorities are patting themselves on the back like they just took down Ocean’s Eleven, but let’s be real—there’s already 652 replacements warming up their burner phones as we speak. The internet is just one giant fucking hydra of stupidity. Cut off one head, and two more pop up to ask for your banking details.

Reminds me of the time I watched a luser try to “hack” the mainframe by typing “hack” into the command prompt for three hours straight. I didn’t stop him. I just sat there, drinking my coffee, contemplating the heat death of the universe and hoping it would hurry the fuck up.
