LulzSec Phone-Bombs FBI and Blizzard

Posted by samzenpus on from the poking-the-bear dept.

Revotron writes "Anonymous hacker group LulzSec has begun to harness the power of the crowd in their latest griefing attempts. After a day of numerous DDoS attacks on a handful of famous MMOs, LulzSec's phone lines lit up with an estimated 20 calls per second. Using a fairly simple phone redirect, they sent all of their incoming calls to various offices, among them the FBI office in Detroit, Blizzard Customer Support, online retailer Magnets.com, and most recently, the corporate offices of HBGary." Update: It looks like they also brought down the CIA website tonight, but it is up now.

    As a dilettante gadget consumer with a 4-digit user ID, I resent that.

    I don't know where you live, but in the United States, we believe rights are inherent to all human beings. Rights are not "ganted".
