Wikileaks Internet Fight- Channers Hit Back

It's a jungle out there.

This illustrates that you should not depend on the Internet for anything. It is open to attack by bullies with resources and survives only because the "good guys" have to date had greater resources. (Define "bullies" and "good guys" however you wish.) Nothing guarantees that this will be true forever and a complete takedown of global communications for a catastrophic period of time (minutes, hours, even days) is conceivable.

IMHO. ;)
 
Darat, could you please infract and/or suspend 4Chan, Mastercard and the US Department of State?
They're very naughty boys.
AAH their arses.
 
Well if 4-chan has any ties to Wikileaks, it's game over. 4-chan committed a crime (hacking) against a Credit-Card company.

It worries me that sites like Wikileaks could be taken off the web. Not only would it deprive of us of a site that is doing what the media hasn't been doing for decades, it would probably pave the way for all sorts of internet censorship

And these people will serve interesting times when they'll be caught.

Probably 20 to life.

Yeah, probably. Sending a large number of requests for information to a website in an attempt to bring it offline is arguably as heinous a crime as butchering somebody with a meat cleaver. I'd definitely apply the same sentence if I was a judge.

It's called a crime. I suggest you avoid it.

But spying on the UN is of course perfectly legal.

Yes.
It's amazing the lengths these apparently-willing propagandised idiots will go to to 'protect' the corrupt ********* in power who they've been willing to spend years trying to defend... simply to save JREF forum internet 'face'. ;)

I never said it was murder, that's in your head. But it is a felony punishable with incarceration, and the more they attempt it, the more people and organization they target, the more years will be added to their sentence. These things have a tendency to build up.

I never said it was murder either, I was equating the sentences. 20 to life is applicable to either crime, implying they are of the same severity. I would argue that DDoS attacks are more like throwing a brick through the window of an unstaffed warehouse, but i'd like to hear your case as to why each of these thousands of individuals attacking the websites with requests for information should be locked up for at least 20 years.

I'll let Visa and Mastercard's team of lawyers make their case, and I'm sure they'll ask for the maximum.

Because of course justice should be determined by who can pay for the most expensive lawyers. Thats proper, capitalist justice.
 
Most people engaging in DDOS attacks don't get caught. It is practically impossible to track down everyone when there are thousands involved
