LulzSec Phone-Bombs FBI and Blizzard

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday June 15, 2011 @09:42AM 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.

Duke Nuke'm Forever isn't awful. It's "retro." You know, I still like the original Duke 3D. DNF kinda builds on it. It's pretty nice in that respect. Is it worth $60? No... $30... maybe $40...
It's pretty hard to make a cutting-edge game. The "best" ones these days have a great story over technological advancements. DNF isn't much about stories though. I seriously don't think DNF was intended to be anything like what people were expecting. Back when it was supposed to be released, it would have been considered awesome though.
