Sunday those claiming to represent the Internet hacktivist group known as "Anonymous" launched a cyber attack against The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). The attack is aimed at the website, aipac.org, and conducted via a modified LOIC (Low Orbit Ion Cannon) used to execute DDoS attacks. A distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users.
According to the [URL="http://twitpic.com/4e1ixv"]announcement[/URL] from Anonymous:
[release]
[INDENT][B]America's Pro-Israel Lobby (AIPAC) is known for being one of the most powerful lobbies, keeping politicians in their pockets. During 2009, the U.S. provided Israel with at least 8.2 million per day in military aid and $0 in military aid to the Palestinians.[/B]
[B]We are having none of it.[/B]
[/INDENT][/release]
[INDENT]The notice goes on to give "attack instructions" on the installation and utilization of the LOIC (low orbit ion cannon).
Currently Anonymous is experiencing something of a renaissance, with numerous operations running as well as a robust [URL="http://www.examiner.com/anonymous-in-national/anonymous-is-recruiting-opnewblood-hacktivists-wanted"]recruitment drive[/URL] in full swing. Using social media sites like Twitter and Facebook as well as Internet Relay Chat rooms (IRC) the group has conducted successful campaigns against such targets as Scientology, Visa and MasterCard, the [URL="http://www.examiner.com/humanist-in-national/westboro-baptist-church-trolls-hacktivist-group-anonymous"]Westboro Baptist church[/URL] and the Internet security firm HBGary.
Nevertheless, it is important to recall that Anonymous is a mysterious organization - a headless monster, lacking any identifying hierarchy or command structure. No one press release, no one statement, no one tweet, no one blog post, speaks for all who pledge allegiance to the group. While there apparently are leaders and followers involved in particular operations, there is no leadership in the traditional sense.
At the time of posting, the AIPAC website was still up and running. The announcement and other information is available via Twitter search: [URL="http://twitter.com/#!/search/%23oppalestine"]#OpPalestine[/URL], as well as a Facebook page "[URL="http://www.facebook.com/oppalestine?sk=wall"]Operation Palestine[/URL]."

Not a bad target.
I'm sure anonymous is deeply saddened by Palestine's plight and wants nothing more than to end their suffering.
I honestly don't see this ending well either way.
They made a spelling mistake on step 5.
anonymous seems to be popping up alot these days
it's a bit tiresome imo
I wonder how many people are gonna get arrested doing this.
Ahh yes, using the LOIC to achieve nothing as always.
Why on earth would they give militairy aid to Hamas?
[quote]$0 in military aid to the Palestinians.[/quote]
It would help if there was a Palestinian military to give aid too.
[QUOTE=PatrickT;28856841]Why on earth would they give militairy aid to Hamas?[/QUOTE]
Because Hamas is the government of Palestine and they deserve to defend their people from outside attacks just as Israel does

The media like to follow their activities, so something is achieved. They have a unique ability to get noticed.
Well israel had the war with Lebanon in 2006 and the Gaza War 2008-2009, probably the reason behind the aid to.
But hey! Let the US fund both sides of the war! :downs: Everyone is a winner then! :suicide:

This is the first post I have ever seen from you that actually makes sense.

Well considering that the military wing of Hamas is a recognised terroist organisation in many countries, including the United States... good luck ever seeing them give military aid.

By posting this you also support Gaddaffi, Syria's gov, Egypt's gov, Tunisia's gov and all the other arab countries that are revolting (or revolted) at the moment.
Hamas wasn't chosen, they killed most of Fatah members and put themselves into control.
