Web guerrilla offline: from unknowns Schieen Anarcho Forum 4Chan

The hackers and trash platform 4Chan is the birthplace now ubiquitous Internet trends - (garnished with strange sayings cat photos in rudimentary English), for example, the lolcatz movement. Allegedly, the "Operation Payback" was - an informal grouping of Web attacks on financial service providers that WikiLeaks the settlement of payments refused donations - their origin in 4Chan forums.

The now international informal Anonymous protest movement takes its name from 4Chan forums: Anonymous there is the standard name for all users. Now 4Chan itself is the victim of a distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) have become. On Thursday, the operator announced its users to the official System Status page: "The offer is currently not achievable because of DDoS - or - we have noticed that there were Master Card, Paypal and Visa alone." Before the forum disappeared from the network, passed through strange things: some of the 4Chan-forums, the organization suddenly changed, the site presented instead of the usual pastel tones suddenly red-yellow-Azur, the euro-dance-trash classic "Cotton-Eyed Joe "ran in the background, and glittered in the page header, the heading:" MOOT IS OLEV OLEV IS MOOT.

Moot 4Chan is the pseudonym of the founder Christopher Poole. What does all this have to mean is unclear. Either someone has hacked and defaced 4Chan (a conspiracy theory, Olev is a notorious spammer Board) or the 4Chan-founder has allowed just a joke. lis
