Anonymous Speaks About Australian Gov't. Attacks

Posted by kdawson on from the not-a-spokesman-mind dept.

daria42 writes "The loose-knit collective of individuals known as 'Anonymous' has broken its silence about the distributed denial of service attacks on the Australian government. An individual (who insisted he or she is not a spokesperson for the group) said the attacks were more effective at stopping the government's Internet filtering project than signing a petition, and that the attacks could go on for months." The site where some members of Anonymous are said to hang out, 4chan, got a visibility boost yesterday when its founder moot spoke at the TED conference.

    Except "Anonymous" is the bastard hybrid of a punch of bored 14 year old script kiddies

    Wrong, because this would be a blatant violation of 4chan rules:

    If you are under the age of 18, or it is illegal for you to view the materials contained on this website, discontinue browsing immediately.

    So it is obvious that 14 year olds (along with people from Australia and Iran) are not allowed to access 4chan because of the rules.

    Ebaum's world is where all this stuff blamed on 4chan comes from. It is all Ebaum's World fault. And Gaia.
