Hackers take down website of bank that froze WikiLeaks funds
A group of Internet activists calling themselves Operation Payback have taken credit for shutting down the website of a bank that earlier Monday froze funds belonging to WikiLeaks.

Announcing its successful hack on a Twitter account, the group declared, "We will fire at anyone that tries to censor WikiLeaks."

They say next on the list is PayPal.

I would expect that they will also go after dotORG, Visa, and MasterCard soon!

I know this is a serious issue, and I also know that (since over half my "non adult" business pays by PayPal) the fact that they are now also attacking PayPal may mean that I will be late paying a few bills, but I still can't help pissing myself laughing over this whole affair!
