Every single one of us pays a vandalism tax every time we buy something. A tax that could go to productivity. There is nothing funny about that. I have very good reasons to have no sense of humor about it.

And yet there are precious few mechanisms to keep companies honest that don't get countered with "It'll cost us all more".

Philosophically, some people are more likely to be okay with destructive behavior that's targeted against destructive entities (which anyone backing this bill qualifies as IMO) than others. That the social cost exacted by such an entity is far beyond that of any damage done to them.

Who the heck knows? I'm dangerously off-topic here and won't say more on it.
 
Badman,
Don't patronize companies you disagree with their behavior. Better yet, go compete against them and do a more responsible job. It CAN be done. I have done a lot of procurement for software development. There are a lot of companies, mostly small, that really try and do the best for the customer. Good business is good business. In my circle, news travels fast. When a company miss-treats me, a lot of potential customers know. I don't do that to get even. No, I to that to help everyone know, doing a responsible job for the customer is rewarded with future opportunities. Business that do "good business" can grow and be more profitable. We don't expect every program to be successful. It happens in IT. The true mark of a business in any field is how they behave when it does not go well.

I suspect if we were not on opposite coasts, over a pint we would agree on far more than it looks like here.
 
"What can I do then, except notify the owner of the site that he is no more the owner"

A really good start. So many companies are afraid to let their people communicate externally. Keeping quiet is no way to fight this war. If they are not responsive, absolutely block. Let them know and why. Then your company has to pay the tax I was talking about so you can get a much faster firewall. Less profits, lower pay raises, less investment because of the vandals.

Of course, as that specific IP is a know Nigerian gateway.....
 
Actually, it was not comment about their content; it was comment about their server bombarding other sites in Internet trying for known exploits. That means, their server was infected by malicious software. But instead of solving the problem and thanking me for valuable help (such infected sites automatically are blacklisted on many hosts in Internet) they sent me a link on their form that contains lots of question to answer how well they served me. :D
 
twitter is not working at this moment.


a sort of explanation -


Partly carried out via Twitter messages, this new effort by Anonymous is only superficially similar to previous distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that Anonymous has carried out to punish its targets. It's emerged that many of the attacks are being triggered by average Joe Internet users who merely click on a Web link, unaware that the action then activates code that tries to swamp a website with too much traffic.

Nothing new:
It also means you should be extra-careful when clinking on suspicious links on Twitter, in emails, on other social networks for the time being, even if they appear to come from friends.
except before they were using such tricks to force people to download backdoors in order to use their computers later anonymously. Here if I understand right they just provide applet that immediately generates traffic for denial of service attack.

Edit: just looked for the information. The whole story smells bad... Very bad, like "Anonymous VS Internet". Internet will be definitely killed now, and such Anonymous attacks help to organize people against Internet.

not sure how post 52 came to be ...

Looks like Internet got a new property: echo on HTTP level. Next step: reverberation... ;)

One Internet security professional complained, his router was dropping packets if they belonged to SSL session, other traffic went through flawlessly. Sounds weird, but when provider replaced his router the weird phenomenon dissappeared. :D
