Hackers Target 4chan with Denial of Service Attack

[Marsell]

(cue ominous music)
the war has begun

 

[Stu the Pirate]

Somehow I get the feeling Anonymous will not take kindly to being DDos'd. I'd expect a strike back at the people poking the wasp's nest. Stay tuned, folks.

 

[Sean Strife]

anonymous got bored, so they decided to DDoS themselves, thats all that happened.

You're actually closer to the truth than you think. It's not the first time Anon has DDoSed their own site.

 

[Danpascooch]

Oh dear god, Anonymous will rain hell down upon them

 

[thirion1850]

LOL. I think no one here realizes the fact that it must have been a bunch of newfags, accidentally firing their LOICs at 4chan after getting the wrong target from a troll.

EA! Activision! You can profit off this! Call of Duty: Modern Computer Warfare or Battlefield: Homefront! Seriously could rake in some serious cash!

 

[Xhu]

I'm sorry, but this is news? I thought 4chan suffered this every other week, if not more often.

Yep. Hell, half of the time it's Anonymous nuking itself.

The real danger is when mean people start flooding the board with NSFW images. Oh, the horror.

 

[SlasherX]

Hell hath no fury like a pissed off /b/tard these people will pay

Teh internet warz. It's hilarious 4chan got served, about time if you ask me.

inb4 rage.

Good. 4chan and anon can both dig a hole and jump in it.

The first blows in an all out Internet War perhaps?

ITT people who don't know what they're talking about.

Do you know 4chan has a status page, which will be updated if something has gone wrong with the website, like the side being DOSed?

Hmmm, they have a dedicated page for when this thing happened, makes you wonder about how frequent this thing happened right?

No I don't know because I stay away from 4chan and to be perfectly honest I care very very little.

::::Buys large soda and candy while mumbling to myself how pricey and annoying the prices in this damn movie theater.:::

 

[Echo136]

They deserve it I say. Nothing but cyber bullies.

 

[The Random One]

This is hilarious, even if 4chan is down so often channers would probably not even notice it was a DoS.

DDosing is a mild annoyance, and easily done with DOS or a LOIC; not like it's some internet information war artillery shelling and this will be forgotten in a week or two.

 

[Michael O'Hair]

I guess that's what they get for calling themselves Anonymous and treating the internet like a /v/ideogame.
