Hackers have taken down Visa.com
 

Internet hacktivists have now taken down Visa.com in retaliation for it closing business with Wikileaks. The hacktivists took down Mastercard.com earlier and have plans to take down Amazon and Paypal as well.

This is the first internet war.

Thoughts?

Exactly WHAT has this to do with ebay? :rolleyes:

Green Bean is the only war machine you have to worry about here ha

I wonder how long paypal would stay offline :(

Damn! should we withdraw our money from PP or what? :D

They are just attacking the sites. Not the services. Silly childish waste of time for attention is all

No, I mean like what if we can't access the site for a long time?

They already did paypal. So should be ok. Think they are after Master Card now. Its nothing more then a nuisance attack

I support wikileaks and am pleased to see these sites under attack as it sends a strong message.

hahaha, well it nice to throw rocks at the tanks of economy every now and again...

Don't call it childish nonetheless...the motive and things they stand for (in their opinion are right), and it's not like you can do anything else really, right?

I only meant that is serves no purpose. Its paramount to egging a house. A pain in the ass and little more - Not a comment against the cause. I have no opinion on it either way

No it doesn't. A dos attack is just kicking and screaming. No statement at all. Again, not a comment on the cause, I have no opinion on that. Just a comment on attacks

Yes i Support wiki leaks also!


Peolple Should know the truth..Even if they cant handle it...

What's that guy wanted for again? rape? or something....

What probably happened is it was consensual...like Kobe. (yes everyone...FLAME ON!) and saw he was famous, so now this chick filed for sexual assault charges.

@ First Edition


No Apparently you can get away with that these days (Phil Spector)

Because PP was affected by the SAME hackers...

There are LOTS of famous people that never get accused of rape.... Tiger Woods, for example.

The charges aren't rape, some charges of indecency filed by several different women... I believe one of them was asleep at the time...

I passed some of the protests about it where he was held on remand in London, most people were just there to see some of the celebrities that came to try and put up the bail money for him.

I believe strongly in Freedom of Information and freedom of speech, the thing is I don't think WikiLeaks is much more than a stunt.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Bu tin the states he was front page big bold letters on the front page... RAPE...lol


I'm going to look into wikileaks and see if its worth it

Yeh baby
 

Now what paypal really needs is a "denial of service attack" **** yeah lol

They do that enough on their own....

I think it does; the attacks resulted in dozens of news articles read by people who probably won't know what a DDOS attack is and see a much greater issue than kicking and screaming. It would depend on the individual who reads those articles as to what statement they see depending on their perspective. You don't see a statement and I understand that.
