Well, shit.
Looks like I'll be digging a hole for me to hide in for a few days.

One does not piss off the Internet and leave with their assholes (pride) entirely intact.

I love it when Anonymous wrecks some good old havoc.

Let me just say this. I love to watch the world burn as much as the next man. The thing that pisses me off right now is that a few of those arrested are New Zealand citizens. If the American government tries to extradite New Zealand citizens for a crime committed on NZ soil, to be punished under US law, I will be pissed. Imagine if we tried to do the same thing to an American. They wouldn't have a bar of it.
One day those dickheads in Washington are going to take it a bridge too far. I sincerely look forward to that day and I just hope that the innocent American people don't have to suffer for their ineptitude.

I hate Anonymous.

Now lets run and hide while those pathetic teenagers try and overthrow the "corrupt" government.

Wait, doesn't the Escapist have the basement for such events? *Hides.
One of the only rules here is not to go in the basement...
Gentlemen. It is time.
I have my key ready.

OT
This is interesting to say the least.

I love how out of all of the things available to rage about, anonymous chooses trying to get revenge over a site that has always had the association of being a haven for streaming copyrighted material. To me, this makes anonymous a painfully hilarious band of dedicated idiots.

Well,it looks like the internet war has finally broken out.


Personally, I don't have a problem with this, at least not under the circumstances. You can't keep pissing off the collective internet without repercussion.
Maybe they're going overboard, but even with the blackout so few people still seem to care; if nothing else this stands the chance of gaining notice.
Time will tell whether than ends up being positive or not.

I really really hope so too. I kind of half expect something drastic to come of all this. I hope my fellow citizens don't get dragged into it too, and end up having to pay for what our leaders are doing.

Geez let me into those bunkers I dont think it's going to be safe out here much longer.

On topic though, I have always found Anon's attacks quite intriguing. They are like a car crash happening right before your eyes - you can't do anything to stop the two obstacles colliding but neither can you look away! It's that interesting.

However I question the sites they have taken down. None of the sites mentioned make any money from their being up and running. It might make more of a statement to take down sites that make money as that will make them noticed.

Oh and can someone tell me what DDOS'ing means? Please and thankyou.

LET ME INTO THE BUNKER!!

Seriously, they're JUST DDoS'ing? No black faxes? Dox'ing? Nothing? This might be a large scale op, but it's hardly their most potent of methods.

I was afraid something like this would happen... Time to live out this period in a cryogenic suspension, then try to rebuild society once the dust settles...

As I understand it (could be wrong) Denial of Service (DoS)is when someone floods a site with so many people that it breaks. Anonymous send out the call, supporters bomb website, firewalls crash and it goes down. Please correct me if I'm wrong I don't wanna look like an idiot.

Anonymous is mad the government shut down a site that pretty much does NOTHING ELSE but stream copyrighted material? ... Megaupload was lucky it lasted so long, and NOBODY should be surprised it's been shut down.
Mega Upload had a strict policy regarding copyrighted material and took down videos flagged for infringement very quickly. Of course if someone uploads a file and names it so it looks like someone smashed their keyboard with their face then it'll take a bit longer to track down or for someone to report it, but we're seriously going to blame them for that? Mega Upload was one of the main resources for people hosting mods for PC games so now a lot of mod databases for a lot of our favourite games just got fucked over. But ya know, let's forget the fact that A LOT of legitimate people just got fucked over out of backed up data/mods and subscription costs (like a friend of mine who just bought a 6 month subscription) because herp derp get dem evil pirates!

... Now I'm going to have to cross my fingers are pray my friends kept local backups of my fave Oblivion mods...

Distributed Denial Of Service(DDOS)Attack

"the intentional paralyzing of a computer network by flooding it with data sent simultaneously from many individual computers"

its like everyone trying to download the latest game off steam, bringing the whole service to a snail's crawl or outright halting the distribution.

Its like a million people customers barging into McD's and ordering the same thing at the same time from the one person tasked with serving... He just stands there stunned and speechless.

Eventually they'll get bored and fuck off, possibly with or without a Happy Meal. Then business returns to normal. Possibly at the cost of the sanity of one frightened staff member.
