They are attacking paypal because WikiLeak's source of income were donations to its paypal acct, and then paypal terminated their acct.

Lol, I'm going to call that the future wars between nations are going to be fought over the internet with web attacks. If a few punks on a computer with an internet connection can cripple playstation network and web giants like Paypal; just imagine what a government or country with the ability to put millions if not billions behind a system and tons of manpower. Take over other countries' banks and everything else, all without stepping on their turf.

The hackers are missing one thing.

Sooner or later, they always get found out. They're some really bad guys out there that may decide to have them hacked. Unfortunately, they're not thinking computer hacking.

That's be a miserable way to go.

This doesn't mention them trying to take it down again, I remember reading this and thinking Paypal is pretty well prepared: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...881591338.html

Let me begin by stating that I'm a firm believer in capital punishment for all these idiots who ruin hard working and honest peoples lives with all their craphole hacking! Someone / gov. should make a strong example out of one of these fools - especially if they live out of the country...
