Successfully attacked a channel which coordinates Anonymous activities

Surprise. The group Anonymous, who has starred in some of the denial of service attacks more striking in recent months, a victim of a pirate of its own community. Suspicions fall on an IRC channel operator in which supporters of the group coordinate their actions. Attacked servers and IP addresses posted hundreds of Internet surfers connected to it.

In a statement, members of Anonymous grouped into AnonOps have indicated that this channel has been assaulted and their data compromised. It seems that this is a civil war within the community. The author would be sympathetic to the group and former operator of the channel that launched the attack by the botnet and starring Anything above what the group considers a "coup d'etat organized."


The attacker, calling itself Ryan, have taken control of AnonOps.ru and AnonOps. net. Today, both sites get a theme, LOL AnonOps Dead and in the same alias is a list of users and IP addresses. Anonymous has advised its members not to use those channels and positioning the computer and its owner at risk. Anonymous group, in a statement quoted by Number me, explains that the likely reason for the attacker is that he disagreed with the leaderless command structure used by network administrators AnonOps.

"We are deeply devastated by this tragedy," they conclude. Forbes puts the number of Internet users who have been involved in 653 IP address. Anonymous has now been again these days because Sony has explained that the attackers left behind a code platform that featured the name of Anonymous and their motto "We are legion." Sony is not responsible directly to the group of the intrusion.

The group, twice, has denied he was the author of the attack that keeps blocked these platforms "We are legion, but not us" have claimed. What is more difficult for the group is to ensure that none of its members, at their own risk, has taken the initiative of the attack.
