Reading the previous threads, people seem to have the idea that these guys are just a bunch of kids who are ‘taking a break from a video game’ to go fuck shit up on the internet because they are impulsive idiots and you know, keeping the web presence of major corporations like Visa under siege is just that easy!

It’s not, these things take very highly motivated, highly skilled and coordinated teams.

It takes a email blast to spread the word, or a forum, and enough children running about 4 lines of code to start a DOS attack on a site.
