um... They can't be serious to think anyone would fall for this.
bwahahahaha
anybody who gets caught by that site deserves to be caught lol
"Do you want to attack the Pentagon?"
"Good! Just sign your name here.. here.. and here."
"Congratulations! You just won a life time trip to guantanamo bay!"
Oh, good! Get a bot on Skype to mass send it, free FBI raids!
the police are idiots for making this and anyone who falls for it is a bigger idiot
try and get me motherfuckers I live in Australia
I, uh, dont think the FBI is behind this one to be frank. Someone else is gagging this
It is possible to fall for this if people are just careless though. Not otherwise.
I did this on accident. How long until they knock down my door?

That depends. Where are you right now?

You're gonna have to come with us.
I think the only stupid people here are those that think anything will happen if they click a button on that site.
Yeah money well spent.
Isn't this also kind of illegal?
They'll never find me behind Tor and eleven proxies!
[QUOTE=Xubs;45705231]No, it's not entrapment. Entrapment is making someone do a crime they OTHERWISE would not have committed. It is not illegal for undercover police to, say, ask for some illegal drugs and then you respond "okay" and hand the drugs to the police and the police cuff you for it. That's because you were willing to do the crime in the first place.
It's only if you were not willing and were coerced or forced to do something illegal. Thus, this website is not illegal at all.
A case of entrapment would be coercing someone to buy a counterfeit of a drug that was not illegal, then giving them the real (illegal) substance, then cuffing them. That'd be entrapment, because you explicitly lied to them and created the idea that what they were doing was legal. They had no concept it would be illegal, because in their mind, [I]they're getting legal substances[/I] so this example WOULD be entrapment.[/QUOTE]
This is not entrapment. End of story. I'll type out the explanation when I find my notes and when I have a few minutes here
this makes me a bit uncomfortable seeing as i could easily imagine myself clicking one of the buttons, assuming its some dumb anonymous site, just for a chuckle of seeing what the button would actually do on my end. the idea that you can be labeled a possible suspect or target or whatever just for having the curiosity to click a button on a webpage is really seedy.
BREAKING NEWS: 200 14 year olds across the country were arrested yesterday

It's entirely possible to make something like this though. There was/is a web version of LOIC that automatically starts up when you visit the site that contains it.
(The original started manually, but people modified it, disguising it as something else, and spread the link through social media.)

From what I've heard you can grab a lot of these "secret" numbers by dumpster diving or similar.
That they have to be protected in the first place seems more like a problem with the US's identification system.
(In Germany you can't do anything important without the official ID card.)
Technically I do have an SSN though... somewhere. I think it can only be used for counting towards my retirement pension or something, not for making use of benefits.

This again
While it's not entrapment, it's still stupid. They are creating the optimum and easiest circumstances for somebody to commit a crime. Whether or not it's even a "crime" is debatable since they are simulating criminal circumstances in an imaginary environment in which no practical wrong-doing is even done, because the scenario is completely formulated and intentional

Yeah, the DOX explains that the website isn't actually run by the FBI but it's a guy gathering IPs of possible suspected "hackers" and trying to sell them to the FBI as information
