Hackers Target 4chan with Denial of Service Attack

[kouriichi]

Theyer trying to end the world arnt they?

They probally DDoS'd themselves.

This. Because to them , DDosing is like masturbation.

Methinks Tumblr have been up to their pony tricks again.

Tumblr was my first thought too.

It is pretty funny though, I bet 4chan get their collective arse in their hands about this despite being the main source of DDoS-ing.

Now what kind of shitstorm will be conjured when Anon work out who gave them a taste of their own medicine?
Maybe they'll realise that what they're doing is wrong when it is done to them?
This'll be entertaining

 

[Popido]

Oh the irony ITT is so delicious! omnomnomnomnnomonomonom

 

[xXDeMoNiCXx]

Guess someone decided to rid the internet of that scumsite. At least temporarily.

"And nothing of value was lost".

 

[ultimateownage]

Huh. Didn't know Brutus knew how to DDOS.

 

[cairocat]

This is about 24 hours late, I think, for such a short article with really no new info.

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

Oh, my. The irony! This is getting good! I'm going to keep myself up-to-date on this one.

 

[Yaranna]

or just very stupid

 

[Double A]

I laughed so hard when I read this... it's obviously a collaborative effort between Gene Simmons, the cyber police, and Xenu.

 

[Yaranna]

Moot did it

 

[Dyp100]

I was on a stream waching Aliens with my fellow fa/tg/uys and ca/tg/irls when it went down. It seemed to be downed all of yesterday for me as well but now it's back I've got 5 4chan tabs waiting to be read by me.

 

[Kronopticon]

oh no. anon has turned entirely emo and is now virtually slitting its own wrists.

 

[MetalGenocide]

Oh no you didn't! *points in no particular direction.*

Nah, they were bored.

"Sorry guys, I fell asleep on the keyboard and accidentally pressed the [nuke our own image board] button."

 

[Stabby Joe]

What? Internet self harm?

Either that or we have just witnessed the ultimate troll.

 

[BlindTom]

This has happened a few times before. I remember about a year ago 4chan DDoS'd itself when all the /b/tards unwittingly joined the same botnet.
