Anonymous hacktivists say Wikileaks war to continue
A member of the Anonymous group of hackers, which has been targeting firms it sees as being anti-Wikileaks has said the campaign is not over.

Speaking on the BBC's Today program, Coldblood said that "more and more people are downloading the voluntary botnet tool".

This signs them up to a so-called botnet, an army of machines that can then launch attacks.

Visa was the latest victim.

Its website experienced problems while Mastercard payments were also disrupted.

Take care when opening email or visiting links labeled "WikiLeaks." You better believe there are right-wing hackers, intent on punishing WikiLeaks supporters, on the web. There have already been reports of malware and viruses being spread in this manner."

10. Did you read the recent OP, where they busted a 16 year old?
Kinda young to be in that kind of trouble.

11. Yes.
I just read your post about the corps orchestrating Anonymous and am willing to consider the possibility. Equally possible is a Dutch 16 year old jumping on the Anonymous bandwagon with a whole lot of other folks.
