Now, I don't know that I believe that everything is gospel. But it seems to me that with all the events that have come on since and including wikileaks, that there is a lot more going on here than some people see.

well if these guys get traced & caught so easily they can't be that smart or maybe they are its just the FBI is smarter. I guess we will have to wait and see what the charges are.

You guys are silly. Silly Silly Silly. Do you really think members of Anon launch DDoS attacks from their own machines????? They launch DDoS attacks from YOUR computer. Whoever you are reading my post right now, you probably have some malware or spyware on your box right now that could be used to gain access to your machine so it can be used in a DDoS attack. That attack will get traced back to your IP, your ISP and then your MAC (not the Steve jobs computer) address. They know who did it and what machine in your house was used for it. These kids probably went sniffing and trolling on 4chan, exposed their IPs which were sniffed and scanned for open ports.
Their machines were compromised and used by Anon in a DDoS attack. And guess what? This is also exactly why it is impossible to prosecute suspected hackers - it wasn't them! Their machines were compromised.
Prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the kid was sitting at his keyboard launching the DDoS attack personally.
Go read about the old couple who were implicated in a DDoS attack. Their wireless network was compromised and it was used to launch a DDoS attack by a neighbor.
I love it when people who have no frigging clue what they are talking about open their mouths. You provide the true lulz.edit on 20-7-2011 by SupaJebusFreak because: (no reason given)

using your own machine in the ddos is not smart. what happened to botnets?
downloading the LOIC ( or whatever it was) and using your own machine is not smart.
its not smart to be involved in something illegal but not able to cover your tracks. Expect a knock at the door from the feds.
we dont know how they were caught. I dont know if you read about the guy whos website was getting ddos'ed. He found the IRC channel it was launched from, he broke the password hid in the channel, logged everything the OP was doing then revealed himself and asked him to tell the script kiddies to stop attacking his website. If he can do that so can the feds.edit on 20-7-2011 by yeti101 because: (no reason given)
