According to a statement, which the group posted on Pastebin earlier this week, it plans to attack 13 DNS servers that ensure URLs such as google.co.uk are translated into the IP addresses that host these websites.
"To protest SOPA, Wallstreet, our irresponsible leaders and the beloved bankers who are starving the world for their own selfish needs out of sheer sadistic fun, On March 31, anonymous will shut the internet down," the group said in the statement.

Honestly, what a bunch of bs. Nothing is going to happen! Just another group of big talk, no walk punks. If they were going to do something like that, IF THEY EVEN COULD, they wouldn't announce a date six weeks away; they'd just do it and then take credit like any other self respecting cyber-terrorists.

In an unprecedented move, the FBI may cut off Internet access to millions of people on March 8th to try to rid the country of a Trojan. Millions of computers are infected worldwide—maybe even yours. The DNSChanger Trojan originated in Estonia and might be lurking undetected on as many as a half-million computers in the United States, according to Brian Krebs. It has been found on the computers at half of all Fortune 500 companies and at 27 government agencies. The Trojan changes an infected computer's DNS settings to send users to fraudulent websites. What's more, the worm is particularly malicious in that it also prevents you from visiting security websites that might diagnose or fix the problem. While the men authorities suspect are behind the Trojan have been arrested, the Feds, working in concert with the Estonian government, have yet to put the final kill on the worm's botnet.

I can understand them protesting SOPA and things like that, but what about the rest of us that are against SOPA? Maybe some of us make our money from the web honestly and use that money to support our families. And as a previous poster stated, what about hospitals/medical institutions that use the net for their patients. I don't see this helping in the cause against SOPA.
