We've informed you yesterday, March 15th, about a fake operating system based on the Ubuntu OS and the MATE desktop environment, called Anonymous-OS. Based on Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot), the Anonymous-OS Live CD was designed to be a Linux distribution packed with "hacking" tools for "checking the security of web pages".
