Gene Simmons Threatens Anonymous Again and Gets DDoS'd

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hack-and-lol-all-night dept.

BussyB writes "Rather than shutting him up, the 'Operation Payback' DDoS attack on his websites only made Simmons more angry and outspoken. None of those threats seemed to bother Anonymous, however, and the group promptly launched another DDoS attack on both of Simmons' websites and rendered them inaccessible once again."

    So, in effect, Anonymous is proving that they don't believe in free speech. Brilliant.

      I guarantee you that if Microsoft used its corporate servers and Windows base to DDOS open source supporting software, that Slashdot would cry "foul". Yet in this instance, a sizeable percentage of Slashdot loves the DDOS of Simmons.

      How is that in any way analogous?

      Also, sizable doesn’t have 2 e’s.
