Perhaps they are helping the police with their enquiries

And Have you guys read about the infamous set of hackers that is about to bring apocalyptic end to all social networking sites such as Facebook? They said that it's gonna end at November 5th. What do you think about all of this?! >>

personally i wouldn't miss FB etc. one jot but were this to happen [and I'm deeply sceptical - if they could, why advertise, why not just do it?] it'll just revive in another guise.
