hackers bring down Swedish government site
Wikileaks doing the Attacks, Not.
Anonymous, yes.
Nice stuff, to bad they are crossing the line by personally attacking individuals by putting out their credit card info.
But hey whatever, we are now forced into an open society.
TheTelegraph
The official site, regeringen.se, was offline for several hours overnight and only a message saying the site could not be reached was visible.
Commercial websites including Visa, MasterCard and PayPal have already been targeted by co-ordinated action on one of the busiest shopping days of the year after the firms said that they would no longer process donations to WikiLeaks.
A group calling itself Anonymous and operating under the banner "Operation Payback" was behind some of the attacks and there were concerns that Twitter could become a target because it removed Anonymous' listing.

John, what does it mean? Attacking a credit card company does not infringe upon the freedom of speech. If these guys tried to take down a newspaper, etc, you would have a point. This is a simple retaliation: you hurt us, we will hurt you. Simple and not morally complicated. Hoepfully this is just the beginning... imagine how much traffic can be generated for DOS attack if all people unhappy with these companies decisions installed and activated the appropriate tools... these corporate fools could be down premanently.
John who?
Obviously you did not read the post Mr Credit Guy !
the point at which Anon has crossed is giving out individual peoples credit card Numbers! How is that anything about free speech ?
I am no big fan of what big corporations do to shit on the world, if they are attacked by anyone, they probably deserve it and it is probably their fault!
but singling out an individual that is not connected to Mastercard, and putting their Numbers out where they are open to the public is just plain wrong !
