I would have thought DDoSing the mail server would cause more operational problems for most organisations. Although looking up a simple MX record is probably beyond the technical ability of your average anon.
Besides, anyone who gets DoS-ed can just get another website for $20/month a spout more nonsense. Your post sounds nice, but I think you miss the point.
Oh so if we disagree with you you'll be happy to pay $20? I think you're sprouting nonsense, please PayPal me $20 to Dan@danscomp.net
I totally agree with you. Anonymous is a censorship movement, free-speech means allowing people you disagree with to speak.
It's also worth noting that Anonymous once vowed to destroy Facebook for privacy violations, yet Anonymous routinely leaks data private data of innocent people.
Then DON'T use the service if you're unhappy with the terms.
This isn't rocket science. You can opt-out by not using the service. I personally choose not to use Gmail, Google Calander/Contacts in favour of a company that does respect my privacy.
I block Analytics and Doubleclick at the network firewall. Ghostery and NoScript (or ScriptNo in chrome) are the way to go. You can't trust advertisers to do the right thing, ever. Just as you can't trust the word of a marketer.
One of the reasons GPS is easy to jam is because of low signal power.
I have a jammer that only blocks what's on my vehicle, but having a single transmitter to cover the whole vehicle means the strength of the signal varies greatly over different areas of the car. A good way to ensure it does not jam another vehicles GPS would be to replace the single jamming unit with multiple smaller units placed throughout the vehicle. As any tracking device will inevitably be closer to a jammer, the jammers can operate on even lower power and reduce its transmissions outside of the vehicle that its installed in..
Also people who want a bit of privacy. A GPS jammer is intended to stop GPS trackers on the vehicle it's installed on. These days it should be a standard feature, GPS Capability on/off
An SQL injection into their websites custom build CMS which didn't salt any hashed passwords. One of the recovered passwords was also used for an email account (a lesson in not reusing the same password). Anonymous then logged into the email account and sent an email to the system administrator asking for the servers root password, in plain text email I might add. So the servers root password was emailed back to the attacker in the compromised account, and the rest is history.
That's all I can recall from memory, but HB Gary had so many security flaws they really were begging for it.

Go for it, that would be really funny.
That's exactly why I switched to Chrome. Which is also the original reason I switched from IE to Firefox 2 all those years ago.

Thank You,

Perhaps Linode will be able to restore the bitcoins from backup, but if they've been transacted then it's hard cheese.
So the content of your bank account is not safe?
Anonymous attempt censorship and suppression for any speech they don't agree with.
It's over a year now, dust settled... so was Aaron Barr/HBGary a joke?
Yes, they got hacked by failing to follow basic security procedure.
We should give it to Switzerland, they're don't care for US bullying..
You're forgetting America = The World.
Because people would self medicate. This is already a problem without the government encouraging it.
More than the tin-foil hat salesmen.
Unfortunately the Snake Oil salesmen are a have a huge industry. Homeopathy being one of the biggest examples.
No, 5 minutes on Wikipedia does not make you a researcher.
A lot of them just type 'ping' into command prompt then brag about being hackers in IRC.

If they don't want it copied then they should keep it off the internet.
How about you don't use the services that are being offered to you for FREE.

Not fortunately not any random citizen can access that. With GPS tracking now your neighbour can know where you're driving to.

Don't forget law enforcement who have been caught using GPS trackers without warrants in the past.
