Anonymous Attacks via #OpUSA

Looks like #OpUSA is turning into #FlopUSA.  On April 21, the "Anonymous" hacking group put out a list of around 10 government sites and 130+ financial institutions as targets in phase 1 of #OpUSA to target on May 7.  Instead, it looks like the attacks have been mostly against smaller mom-and-pop shops, many international sites, and a couple of dumps, including a credit card dump that had about 10k expired (for 5+years) cards.  I think that the groups lost all bite when  “Izz al-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters” decided to not participate and back their own campaigns.  The day is still young, but this looks to be more bark than bite currently.
