The Internet war has started

Post by msu#1 »

Hackers stepping up for Wikileaks, and they are doing it with only 950 users (probably a ton of zombie machines), yes just 950 people and they have shut down Mastercard and Visa. Whats next?

Julian Assange and his group of henchmen should be eliminated from this planet. So should Pfc. Bradley Manning.

I've heard Visa and Mastercharge. I'm wondering about PayPal. I'm also wondering if Amazon will get hit since they booted Wikileaks off their servers.

His threat is to expose one of the major US banks. Back in October (and it could be Oct 2009) during an interview he mentioned that he had documents from BoA so it's assumed they will be targeted.

They ought to take Manning to Texas and pass a resolution of another kind. A long drop and a sudden stop.

I remember back in the 60's Berkley was a peaceful free thinking mecca. Now I'm thinking they did way too much acid in the 60's and they have all lost their freaking minds. If they aren't careful they will end up like Portland. Because Portland didn't opt to work with homeland secuirty their police department was completely clueless to the fact that someone wanted to bomb their Christmas Tree lighting. They are now reconsidering that vote.

Berkeley's got their head up their a.... Well, y'know what I mean......

Manning is a traitor. I sincerely hope he is convicted of espionage. There's not a single doubt in my mind that what he's done is going to cost lives, and probably American lives. Strong consideration should be given to the death penalty.

Sarah Palin called Abc to say her website was attacked. Nice PR move there. lol Claims her credit card accounts were attacked. The Operation has not said anything about going after her. Someone needs a computers 101 class. The hackers are doing a DOS attack on the websites not screwing up the accounts. They are basically just getting everyone to refresh the websites so much there's not enough bandwidth for others to log on.

the same thing will happen to BN the day Jimmy announces that he's retiring.

That's almost as funny as her saying she's been hunting all her life yet didn't own a gun to hunt with, didn't know proper gun safety and didn't have the scope sighted in for the latest episode of her show.

I see visa.com is up. As a long-time IT employee, I'm very interested in how these companies handle their BC/DR plans.

Forget about these little kiddies, wait until China wakes up and figures out they can do the same thing. Except to our military GSP systems.

I hate to admit that I watched that last episode, but hey I was bored and nuthin' better wuz on and it was kinda looking at a car wreck as you pass by . . you don't want to see any blood or guts or headless bodies, but still you look just in case . . .

Anyway, what really cracked me up was the "next morning" part where they were gathered around the campfire after spending the night in their little one person pop-up tents . . . it looked to me like she had lipstick and mascara and blush on fer christsakes! I wonder if there was a big make-up tent somewhere out of sight . . . .

If everything was down except for BN, email and the eBay daily deal, I'd be just fine without it.
