WikiLeaks Supporters Attack MasterCard Website
http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/WikiLeaks-Supporters-Attack-MasterCard-Website-755294/

I don’t think they are going to go down easily as this article suggests. Seems more like wishful thinking or disinformation campaign to me.

I think they also attacked Discover, and are angry with other websites, including Twitter.

More like a time line. The Wikileak SUPPORTER HACKS are attacking, not Wikileaks. I read that in supporting Wikileaks they may be exposing themselves. But they’re all for transparency, right?

The website and personal credit card information of former Gov. Sarah Palin were cyber-attacked today by Wikileaks supporters.

Nope they are not going down. The writer of the article is wrong in assuming that they are going down.

Nail, hammer, head. This Wikileaks thing is basically about the inherently democratizing effect of technology and the withering away of top-down hierarchical data distribution and filtering. It’s a modern world, boys and girls, and independent sources of data axiomatically means independently operating humans, something tyrants and their bootlicks and lackeys are having less success at stomping out. The only danger Assange & Co. are causing to US foreign policy is embarrassment, and, last I heard, the causing of embarrassment is not a crime in democratic nations.

Wikileaks could easily become a kind of franchise of disconnected cells. Heck there are thousands out there who would like to be part of (what they perceive to be) a heroic global war on capitalism and America.

Personally I don't see this going away anywhere soon.
