FBI Raids Texas ISP For Anonymous DDoS Info

Posted by timothy on from the now-turn-around-reeeeal-slow dept.

jcombel writes with this link to The Smoking Gun, which says "As part of an international criminal probe into computer attacks launched this month against perceived corporate enemies of WikiLeaks, the FBI has raided a Texas business and seized a computer server that investigators believe was used to launch a massive electronic attack on PayPal." Computerworld has a story, as well.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Paypal: the "bank" that somehow gets away with not having to be regulated like a bank and treated like a bank, despite looking like a bank and acting like a bank.

    DDoS attacks suck but in this case, nothing of value was lost.

    So I'm assuming that we are going to see a probe by authorities into the "patriots" behind the wikileaks DDOS attacks next?
