Anonymous Goes On Megaupload Revenge Spree
Anonymous has sure been quiet lately, but today’s federal bust of Megaupload riled ‘em up good: a retaliatory strike against DoJ.gov has left it completely dead.
DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com is reporting the department’s site as universally nuked, and an Anonymous-affiliated Twitter account is boasting success. This is almost certainly the result of a quickly assembled DDoS attack, and easily the widest in scope we’ve seen in some time. If you had any doubts Anonymous is still a hacker wrecking ball, doubt no more.
The combination of the hacking nebula’s SOPA animosity — they’ve been a vocal opponent of the bill since its inception — combined with today’s sudden Megaupload news has made the group bubble over: hundreds upon hundreds of Anon operatives are in a plotting frenzy, chatting about which site will go down next. In Anon’s eyes, the government and media interests are responsible for the undue destruction of Megaupload (and the arrest of four of its operators), so it’ll be exactly those entities that are feeling the pain right now. Pretty much every company that makes movies, TV or music, along with the entirety of the federal government, is in Anonymous’ crosshairs.
Update: Anonymous says they’ve also knocked off the RIAA’s site — looks down for us at the moment as well.
Update 2: Universal Music Group has also fallen off an e-cliff.
Update 3: Goodbye for now, MPAA.org.
Update 4: Affected sites are bouncing in and out of life, and are at the very least super slow to load. Anon agents are currently trying to coordinate their DDoS attacks in the same direction via IRC.
Update 5: The US Copyright Office joins the list.
Update 6: This Anon sums up the mood in their “official” chat room at the moment:
Danzu: STOP EVERYTHING, who are we DoSing right now?
Update 7: Russian news service RT claims this is the largest coordinated attack in Anonymous’ history — over 5600 DDoS zealots blasting at once.
haha OH WOW
we have our own Avengers
9gag:
(via 9GAG - WTF is this?)
I didn’t know who I was once I hit puberty. I was quite overweight and no one really liked me. I started dating a trans guy who was so ashamed he didn’t tell me he was transgendered for more than two months. I continued to love him for eight months. We’re not together anymore and I am currently in a heterosexual relationship but I still talk to him all the time and love him dearly. I have other transgendered friends who are sick of people not understanding who they are and being called an ‘it’ by bullies. I’m posting this because I was lost once and my trans boyfriend helped me find who I am and he and everyone else in the LGBT community deserve all the freedom in the world. I have and will continue to show my love and support for everyone in the LGBT community whenever I can, and you guys should too.
