174. Anonymous are not criminals
They are comrades, in the finest meaning of the word. Their actions are no more than the same as someone handcuffing themselves to a bank's doors, so that customers cannot get in. It's just a different media format.

DDoS attacks are preventable, and had there been proper defense measures put in place, it could have been thwarted. It just shows how secure these places are. Heck, they even have card numbers. This was a warning to those who want to make enemies of those of us who want freedom. It didn't destroy anything, it just delayed a few people from getting onto a website. Big freakin' deal. They probably could have hacked into the system, from the web, or dropped a trojan on their web server, that would be able to get onto their internal network, and infect any number of machines there. THAT would be an attack. This was merely a lunch counter sit in.
