So, a lot of you probably know about the cyber war that is currently escalating on the big I Internet between people who are pro Wikileaks and people who are not.
It's basically Government and big corporations VS the people.
The so called "Anonymous" have setup a network of volunteers who all run a flooding application on their machine, and either attack a common target manually or they give the operators of a specific IRC server control over their machine.
They have DDoSed several sites already, and of them I know about is a bank server, mastercard, visa, paypal and some government sites (I know of some Swedish government related sites that have been hit). Although they have not been able to take down all of them completely due to a lack of numbers.
Now, I am pro Wikileaks, but I don't like the idea of a bunch of kids with guns, being able to bring down whole networks just because they feel like it. It seriously is giving a gun to each child and then also adding free will to that, letting them shoot whatever they want, thinking that there will be no consequences.
It doesn't just hurt the sites that they are attacking, it brings down entire networks, and other users and sites are affected as well.

Re: Operation Payback
If they are trying to be 'holier than thou' - over secrecy - they lost creditability with the DDoS attacks.
Sure we need secrets, but the government and corporations can't be trusted to tell the truth.

Re: Operation Payback
it's kinda fun to watch, but it will not change anything. the DDoS attacks are actually a very stupid tactic, because it's the same unfair behavior people claim to be opposing, and it plays right into the hands of the people demanding censorship.
the wikileaks files will never disappear from the net anyway, there are so many mirrors already, so a good tactic would have been to stay calm and give the opponent (another) chance to show who is the evil one instead of a childish "we can be evil too" action which gives nothing but bad PR.
this war can only be won by public opinion, not by online penis length comparison.
