Dear 'The Media'
I'd just like to clarify a few points regarding the whole 'websites being hacked over Wikileaks' malarky that's going on.
1. Anonymous aren't pro-Assange. They're anti-censorship. There is no affiliation with Wikileaks.
2. They're not 'hacktivists'. That's a stupid word. They're not even hackers (well ok, some might be). But pretty much anyone with basic computer knowledge can participate in the DDOS attacks. It really stretches the definition of the word 'hacker'. The guy who managed to get 1.3 million Gawker passwords, yeah, possibly a hacker.
3. LOIC isn't new. It's been around for years.
4. By pointing out LOIC all you've done is increase the amount of people able to join in. :P It's almost like you're secretly encouraging this.
That is all. Keep up the oh so fascinating coverage. ¬¬
