No worries. They pissed off the Jester, and now they're going down.
whos the jester?
OT: Meh these guys are funny to watch
The Jester is an ex military hacker who brings down jihadist recruitment websites. Apparently, lulzsec decided to DDOS CIA.gov, and Jester didn't take too kindly to that.
Same dude that went after WBC? I think he's a hero among hackers.
Also where is Anonymous when all this is happening?
That is an interesting story on its own. I took the liberty of visiting Anonymous on Facebook, and messaging one of the users who appeared to be a member of Anonymous. He said he had no problem with them, for two reasons. One, "they expose people and companies for what they are." And two, their attacks expose a website's weakness so they can fix it in the future.
In spite of that, it still makes very little sense to me because they are hacking anyone on their Twitter feed who goes on and criticizes them, which goes against Anonymous's policy of defending free speech. Plus, at least Anonymous has standards. They only go after people who provoke them. They don't attack innocent users for the hell of it--that is why they halted their attack on the PSN (I'm talking the very first one, before LulzSec got involved).
So we can only hope Jester can handle this, or Anonymous has a change of heart. These guys are just online bullies, punching random people in the face because they can.
