It's a fairly original line of defense: Friday, January 28, following the arrest in Britain and France of five people suspected of involvement in attacks against sites computer PayPal and MasterCard, one sites used by the network Anonymous believes that attack is similar to an event. AnonNews site, including hosting a chat channel and various texts, claims to be an informational site by and for members of the network Anonymous, an informal group of activists coming together occasionally for a cause.
Late 2010 several attacks had targeted sites from PayPal and MasterCard, in retaliation against their decision to freeze accounts linked to Wikileaks or its founder, Julian Assange. These sites had been attacked so-called "denial of service (DDoS, distributed denial of service): they had been overwhelmed by a large number of connections dummy, which had saturated their capacity and made them inaccessible.
DDoS attacks are commonly used by Anonymous; relatively simple to implement, and very difficult to counter, they do not require specialized knowledge for as long as one has access to a software "turnkey". Anonymous has its own tool, Loic, available to everyone. The French boy arrested Thursday near Clermont-Ferrand in any case does not fit the profile of a top-flight international criminal: fifteen years old, described by prosecutors as "a kid who goes to social networks, contact other users, is influenced by thinking defend liberty, but not a hacker.

That this infrastructure is located in Tech News on Internet Buzz Real or we are totally equal. ( ...) The arrest of someone for having taken part in a DDoS action is strictly similar to the arrest of someone involved in a peaceful demonstration in his own town, "Judge the site.
