ANONYMOUS STRIKES AGAIN

Our pal Ed alerts us to this story. He writes, “There are plenty of anarchic groups that rely heavily (even solely) on tech to do their thing. Anonymous is a good current example. Here's one of their most recent actions: On previous occasions, such as their focused attacks on Scientology worldwide they rather lost momentum because a lot of the members took offence at them having a specific target. The original purpose of the group was to piss people off indiscriminately, not be specifically active against any one group.”

“Several Australian government websites were slowly recovering after the online prankster group Anonymous unleashed a massive distributed denial-of-service attack to protest the country’s evolution toward internet censorship. The group, which previously brought down Scientology’s websites has also undertaken a host of other online pranks. It dubbed the new attack “Operation Titstorm” to protest the government’s move to require the filtering of pornography that uses adult actors if they appear underage. Violent material targeting children is also to be censored. Anonymous past targets include uncool virtual worlds, an epilepsy message board and a Neo-Nazi webcaster.” Click here for a video and more.
