Unlimited Wikileaks Shenanigans

[Triple Zero]

Thanks, I hadn't really been following the DDoS stuff too closely (can't keep an eye on everything), that Pandalabs writeup is a really nice summary.

O ISI your sooo funnny

The Guardian, however, has copies of the entire trove of more than 250,000 leaked American cables, and none of them contain these revelations.
Mr. Walsh explains:

If accurate, the disclosures would confirm the worst fears of Pakistani nationalist hawks and threaten relations between Washington and New Delhi. But they are not accurate.
An extensive search of the WikiLeaks database by the Guardian by date, name and keyword failed to locate any of the incendiary allegations. It suggests this is the first case of WikiLeaks being exploited for propaganda purposes. The controversial claims, published in four Pakistani national papers, were credited to the Online Agency, an Islamabad-based news service that has frequently run pro-army stories in the past. No journalist is bylined.

Dutch police arrested a 16-year-old teenager on Wednesday for his involvement in the online attacks against Visa and Mastercard, organized by supporters of WikiLeaks.

According to a press release by the Netherlands' Public Prosecution Service, the boy has confessed to participating in the attacks. They believe he is a part of a much larger group of hackers, who they are in the process of tracking down.

Well, fuck. Anonymous over.
Meanwhile, I have Atika Shubert on my television interviewing Anonymous in a chat room. I love news reports about Anonymous, because so regularly they absolutely fail to understand what is happening. They talk about them as if they're the subversive hacker group you see in so many movies. "A team of cyber-turrurists known only as 'Anonymous Operations' has taken credit for the attack. We speak with an unofficial spokesperson for the group."

How different legally

Between blocking access to a business and blocking access to a website

Note that there is zero investigation over the DDoS attacks on Wikileaks, despite a confession to them posted on Twitter

That's because those attacks are from American Heroes.

this is a blog post on how a Texan security company has been facilitating the pimping out of young boys to some afgans.

Currently dealing with someone who thinks this is no big deal.

When in Rome right? As long as Rome isn't Baghdad and we're not talking about authoritarian regimes, right? We would never support that sort of thing. We're all about human rights, unless it involves little boys. Except those Catholics. They can go fuck themselves. Oh gods, this can keep on going and going....

that. was. *sniff* amazing. I like the scene where palin grabs her rifle and joins in the witch hunt, and also when assange pulls out the button and blows the world full of news.

Also, there is a new operation by anonymous that most argue is a much better use of time and resources.
I support operation leakspin!

I want to see them, and everyone else, start moving info from the leaks into Wikipedia. Tidbits about the Ukraine etc. being moved into their respective articles with citations back to Wikileaks or the guardian or whoever but otherwise no mention of wikileaks...just putting the information into the way of 10th graders working on social studies projects.
