WikiLeaks cyberattacks now involve Visa, Facebook, Twitter, MasterCard - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Doctor_Communism;26579190]I'm not trying to justify anything. I just don't care because I don't have anything invested in this whole thing.[/QUOTE] Do you have any fucking idea what's going on in your head, you /b/tard? 4chan is attacking a website because it was forced by the government and pressure by thousands of people to close their support of wikileaks, this was basically forced on them. So 4chan attacks an unrelated business and harms HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO DO TRANSACTIONS ON THIS WEBSITE. They have no reason to DDoS this or any of the websites involved, it's just because since most 4channers are under 15 years old their too terrified to DDoS the government or something directly involved, so they're trying to act tough on someone who didn't warrant it. This isn't even taking into the fact that this takes net neutrality back even further thanks to a bunch of LOL DESU WERE INTERNET COOL GUYS trying to get publicity. Or the fact that Wikileaks doesn't even like this.

Hey idiots, they just took down the sites, not like any real damage was done. Stop getting your panties in a bunch. Soon mastercard and visa will secure their sites and that will be that.At least they are standing up for something, rather than sitting around, shaking fists, and saying "Hey I don't like hat, but I'll be dammed if I do anything about it" [QUOTE=CheeseMan;26579211]Do you have any fucking idea what's going on in your head, you /b/tard? 4chan is attacking a website because it was forced by the government and pressure by thousands of people to close their support of wikileaks, this was basically forced on them.

Lern your facts. And the majority of people who post on the internet as a whole are 12-30, nit just 4chan. AND it's not just 4chan, their exists a whole community outside of 4chan, it is just one of the many websites involved.

[QUOTE=JWJ;26579062]Normally when shit like this happens everybody is like YEAHHHHHHH with a few people here and there bitching, but now this is becoming absurd. Fuck you anon, you're making my life hard.[/QUOTE] Just out of curiosity, does this affect you directly? If so, how?

[QUOTE=Doctor_Communism;26579153]So Anonymous is a bunch of internet superheros when they take a shit on Scientology but not when they inconvenience you?[/QUOTE] The attack on Scientology was equally retarded, even if they had a good cause. In this case, it's just a bunch of fucking idiots doing something stupid.

[QUOTE=Doctor_Communism;26579153]So Anonymous is a bunch of internet superheros when they take a shit on Scientology but not when they inconvenience you?[/QUOTE] Pooting on a collection of wackos is funny, disrupting infrastructure in the name of something half-decent is fucking infuriating.

[QUOTE=Ratboy14;26579082]More like fuck you haters of wikileaks.[/QUOTE] lol I don't hate wikileak but I do hate what anon is doing right now.

All because some 15 year olds thought it'd be funny to DDoS paypal for the 'greater good'.

It's just a matter of time until they start posting image macros. I missed when Garry actually cracked down on these cunts.

[QUOTE=GhostSonic;26579230]Just out of curiosity, does this affect you directly? If so, how?[/QUOTE] I own a company (Brohoster) and 90% of our payments are processed through Paypal and the other 10% being google checkout. People can't pay their invoices, my system freaks out because their invoices are overdue, I have to deal with a bunch of billing tickets. My flow of income is disrupted.

[QUOTE=Falineir;26579281]Good, then they can all get banned![/QUOTE] Amen.

[QUOTE=Latency;26579277]People don't like you because you're a piece of shit. Simple enough?[/QUOTE] I bet if we all get really angry we can stop this with our feelings. Or we could all feel like we're doing something even though there is nothing at all that any of us can do other than wait out the shit storm. When life gives you a shit storm, you become a shit connoisseur.

This Wikileaks shit is just getting annoying now. I just want this resolved. Honestly, I could care less how, but it needs to be resolved and soon. Everybody is losing their goddamned minds over all of this...

The website has nothing to do with mastercard and visas payments. How is it affecting anything at all?

[QUOTE=ProBo;26579322]Paypal is up. And your card still works. The website has nothing to do with mastercard and visas payments.

If you read over the thread again, someone from FP just tried to buy a server from me and couldn't because Paypal was down.

Also it's 'couldn't care less'. Please don't give me boxes, they hurt my feelings [i]so[/i] much. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Trolling" - Lithifold))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=Doctor_Communism;26579350]This man is giving the appropriate of shit about this, while not inverting his bowels all over the situaiton. Also it's 'couldn't care less'.[/QUOTE] It's easy to see yourself as the only calm person when you imagine everyone else's posts as screaming.

If you had read the thread, someone from FP just tried to buy a server from me and couldn't because Paypal was down.[/QUOTE] No it's not. It maybe a bit slow, but you think paypal isn't used to this kind of thing? They receive constant heavy traffic, and if they have failed to take them down yet, I doubt its going to happen. I'm positive paypal has already put up more defenses. And all the site going up and down would affect is how long it took to recive your payments. A bank transfer takes 3 days anyway, so it's not like its killing you.

[QUOTE=Latency;26579364]It's easy to see yourself as the only calm person when you imagine everyone else's posts as screaming.[/QUOTE] No no, I fully understand everyone is boiling mad here. I just like really hot water. My skin suffered because of it.

So i can tell why his business is going down in income.

[QUOTE=Doctor_Communism;26579153]So Anonymous is a bunch of internet superheros when they take a shit on Scientology but not when they inconvenience you?[/QUOTE] There is a difference between a website on religion and several major transaction websites. One is something that has little to no effect on the internet, The other is something which puts the balls of the internet economy into a fucking vice.

[QUOTE=Doctor_Communism;26579388]No no, I fully understand everyone is boiling mad here. I just like really hot water. My skin suffered because of it.[/QUOTE] Leave Facepunch now. Seems as if no one likes you here anyways. :)

Please don't give me boxes, they hurt my feelings [i]so[/i] much.[/QUOTE] Actually, mayhaps I am at an appropriately-low level of caring, and could potentially go lower. :v: But seriously, between Facepunch users choking each other out over the whole thing [sp]potentially guilty here[/sp], anonymous being retards as per usual and governments going apeshit over this guy, I just want it to end in some fashion. That way people can go back to actually working on important shit.

[QUOTE=deathslayer95;26579405]Leave Facepunch now. Seems as if no one likes you here anyways. :)[/QUOTE] Because an entire thread is all of Facepunch. Also, there's nothing at all any of you people can do here to help the situaiton other than getting really mad and giving me boxes.

How would you like it if someone in the government called them up and said "Brohoster is hosting inappropriate anti-government sites! Stop all of their payments!" and they obliged? Think about people other than yourself
