User blog:El Alamein/Anonymous vs. Los Zetas Cartel

Anonymous: The mass Internet hacking group notorious for their proven abilities to take down entire corporations to prove a point or demand a change in the way our Internet usage is monitored

The Los Zetas Cartel: One of Mexico's most dangerous drug gangs, whose brutal extortions, kidnappings, torture, and murder sprees often meet a deaf ear to Mexican law enforcement

WHO IS DEADLIEST?

The Situation
In October 2011, the Los Zetas Cartel put on a raid against their political undesirables and put them up for ransom. Shortly after, the Internet group Anonymous put up a video stating simply that the gang was holding one of their members, and that this person should be released. Consequences were implied if such actions were not to follow through.

As far as I know, nothing escalated, because the Los Zetas is still running and I think a Cartel-Internet war would receive a bunch of media coverage that hasn't surfaced. So I present you the situation:

What if Anonymous had to make good of their threats to the Cartel?

The Administrators allowed Anonymous to be in this battle if conventional government forces would be fighting on their behalf physically - that doesn't mean that the Cartel won't seek revenge against Anonymous either. Still, consider this battle a race between two different factions. Can Anonymous dissolve the Cartel through the revealing of planned attacks and smuggles, and through their direction of the conventional Mexican government forces to counter the Cartel's movement? Or will the Cartel shock Anonymous into submission through brutal physical countermeasures that can't be met with increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks?
