[Casio]

Seems like 4chan are backing up WikiLeaks, as they are attacking, Mastercard, Paypal and even the Skynews websites!

You know somethings wrong when 4chan are having to stand up for what's right.

But didn't they also target minecraft not that long ago? Was there even a proper reason for that.

Good for them. It's fine for organisations like the KKK and Westboro to exist and receive funding under the notion of 'freedom of expression', yet the moment a non-citizen releases neither shocking nor top secret information the US suddenly goes all Soviet Union on them.

I don't think I want them hacking my cards.

That was a group of Minecraft fansites and forums that decided enough was enough and they wanted they're updates. So they took down the means to actually update the game.

Exactly why im saying you know somethings wrong when they're the only ones doing the right thing :P But yeah there was a reason, not a very good one though (what fez said)

Yer but it was also a bunch of 4channers

Visa.com has also been affected within the past hour or so.

4chan has nothing to do with this, it may have some members in the group from the /b/ but thats all.

foxtrot uniform kilo charlie, out sir. Awaiting further orders.

Nice to know we can rely on the *REMOVED* to save us from losing WikiLeaks, coincidently why don't they go ask the people at TPB for hosting whilst we have every internet revolutionary taking up arms?

There reason was "you should be more careful having a weak server for a game that's rapidly growing" (or something like that), so they overloaded the server to make Notch aware that he'd have to get a better server, even though they could of just said that in a quick email, seeing as how quickly he has responded to the growth. It was one their more pointless attacks :P

This one is a bit dodgy... Yeah it's for a decent enough cause, but I don't see how attacking Mastercard and Visa will do anything when the main targets are PayPal, and whatever Governments are involved that have encouraged silencing WikiLeaks.
