Anonymous's Latest Target: Boston Children's Hospital

Brandon Butler writes: "Supporters of the faceless collective known as Anonymous have taken up the cause of a young girl, after the State of Massachusetts removed her from her parents earlier this year. However, the methods used to show support may have unintended consequences, which could impact patient care. On Thursday, the Boston Children's Hospital confirmed that they were subjected to multiple DDoS attacks over the Easter holiday. Said attacks, which have continued throughout the week, aim to take the hospital's website offline. Similar attacks, including website defacement, have also targeted the Wayside Youth and Family Support Network. Both organizations are at the heart of a sensitive topic, child welfare and the rights of a parent." Members of Anonymous are now calling for a halt to the attacks.

If some crackers screw you over, that may be on them, but it's still partly your fault.

So like when a woman is drunk and she gets raped, it's her fault. Gotcha.

Essentially what you're saying is asshats like Anonymous don't have to take personal responsibility for their actions because their victims were asking for it.
