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."

    I think a lot of the most successful musicians end up starting their own labels. Simmons certainly did, as referenced in the article. This gives them a stake in the game and even more reason to be anti-piracy.

    But then I realized the cable was blue, so I only gave it one star. I hate blue.

    You're right. The music was in Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. Who then got fired.

    Anonymous regularly takes on the church of scientology, one of the most aggressively litigious entities in the world (WORSE than the RIAA/MPAA) and stays ahead of them. You really think that your facepaint and unnaturally long tongue are going to scare them any?
