Continuing the previous post Share – Take over Wall Street (Occupy Wall Street )
Last Sunday, the YouTube channel TheAnonMessage distributed a video statement. , in which he announced an attack on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Yesterday, other members of the Anonymous movement called the action a fake., behind which law enforcement agencies stand.
Unknown, administering the video channel TheAnonMessage, expressed their indignation at the actions of the authorities in relation to the civil protest action "Occupy Wall Street". Share, the essence of which is to block the street, where the largest stock exchange is located - NYSE, in order to draw attention to the fundamental problems of the economy, started 17 September and continues to this day.
1 October police arrested order 700 participants of the action, what, quite possible, and prompted the "anonymous" to declare war on the New York Stock Exchange. DDoS-attack on the NYSE site scheduled for 10 October.
Not even two days have passed, how the news appeared on Pastebin , also signed by a multifaceted anonymous. In it, citizens are urged not to lose their vigilance and accept any statement., allegedly done by "anonymous", с подозрительностью. In particular, criticized statement of TheAnonMessage.
"This is a fake operation, implemented by law enforcement and cybercrime fighters to allow you to undermine the Occupy Wall Street movement. She suggests that you use legacy tools with known flaws like LOIC., - says this statement. - Anonymous will never tell you to use LOIC - after the arrests and failures of Operation Payback. Anonymous would not attack NYSE on WEEKEND - great question, would Anonymous ever attack her at all ".
Everything is very simple: strong edge of the "anonymous" movement, that is, their complete anonymity, is at the same time their weakness. Anyone can make a statement on behalf of the "anonymous" - for their name is legion.
Suppose, it is impossible not to pay attention to that, that TheAnonMessage channel appeared only 23 July this year. And in the same way, one cannot help but pay attention to the fact, that anyone can upload a text document under a guest account to the Pastebin service.
Besides, not very clear, what kind of weekend or holiday will be 10 October, Monday. DDoS attack really announced early, on 3:30 morning local time, while the exchange should only open up in 9:30, but usually attacks by "anonymous" last for days.
Also in the post TheAnonMessage notes, what to use LOIC (that is, a "low-orbit ion cannon", from which "anonymus" -amateurs shoot, often without bothering with the additional use of an anonymizer like Tor) should be done at your own risk and that those who wish will be provided with other tools to attack. From the other side, this also means, that "other tools" may well transfer the IP addresses of the attackers "where needed" - however, TheAnonMessage also recommends using anonymizers.
