A second look is in order.
....In the cold light of day, after the initial interest and the truly odd coincidence with the last two editions of The Onion...
I have to say that I really don't know anything about VR -- velvet revolution -- the group that I posted the link through.
Are they Anonymous wanna-be's (the "B" team?), Anonymous-imitators (for whatever reason), ...or who, exactly? And there's even less to know about the 'Cyber Sleuths.' Those taking apparent credit for whatever it was. A couple of things about the video quality & opening screen & the narrator, too, in the Cyber Sleuth video seem a little sketchy. Even the letter that was posted. The pdf used the butt-ugliest Times New Roman font, with poor layout design and fairy tale language.
Not really taking pride in what they were doing, even if doing it anonymously. ...Production values were all off.
Which can happen if you're doing things in a hurry, or you're better at cyber stuff than video or graphic design.
Or it could be as others here have insisted, that this is all about frontin' and posin' and not real at all.
Knowing something more about VR -- how long have they been around, what else have they done -- would be good.
