Spamhaus Under DDoS Over Wikileaks.info
achowe writes "Steve Linford of Spamhaus sent this to a private anti-spam list and asked that the message get out far and wide: 'For speaking out about the crime gangs located at the wikileaks.info mirror IP, Spamhaus is now under ddos by AnonOps. As our site cannot be reached now [actually sporadic], we can not continue to warn Wikileaks users not to load things from the Heihachi IP. ... AnonOps did not like our article update, here is what we said and what brought the ddos on us.'" At the conclusion of this message: "Spamhaus continues to warn Wikileaks readers to make sure they are viewing and downloading documents only from an official Wikileaks mirror site. We’re not saying 'don’t go to Wikileaks' we’re saying 'Use the wikileaks.ch server instead.'" Here is Spamhaus's full warning.
now they're slashdotted, too.
Dude, if you ever visisted /b/ you would not be suprised by anything evermore.
I just asked them and they say they are.
Of COURSE it's a false flag operation. The brave freedom fighters of Anonymous couldn't POSSIBLY be mistaken or misinformed in what they do. There's no way they're all just a bunch of kids with no idea what they're doing. The plan to DDOS Amazon to its knees was truly brilliant, in that it allowed the world to see how quickly Anonymous can shift their attack to new targets.
I, for one, welcome our new basement-dwelling, scat-loving overlords.
There's a reason why vigilantism is so frowned upon and force out in a civilized society: Vigilantes suck at justice
The United States of America is obviously not a civilized society. My personal experience with La Jolla, CA, indicates that vigilanteism is the general rule--and not vigilanteism to combat high profile violent crime or high cost white collar crime ... no, people like to be vigilantes just to go around playing surrogate parent against the homeless, or hoping to be the next one to call the police on street people.
Vigilanteism isn't about justice. It's about being the person with the juiciest gossip.
just a bunch of dumbasses causing trouble.
A very good description of the retired folks, the dog-walkers, the neighborhood watch, and the wealthy snobs around my area. Their entire method of life involves: provoke problem where there was none, call police.
If they happen to catch one of the actual drunks or dumpster diving troublemakers then they give themselves extra credit. Maybe harassing me is practice for them. :-(
the NPG electrode was replaced with carbon blac
He's generalizing from a small subset to the entire group of people.
Everyone does it.
Or at least, I do.
Hitting one of them with a court order on charges of something like being a two-timing bastard in Sweden works.
