Anonymous Have Come Out With New Trick To Join People On Website Attacks
Guest Post , Others 0
Of late, you
may see that many links from anonymous people are being poured into your inbox
and you are constantly asked to click on those links. If, by mistake, you may
have clicked on any one of those links, you are indirectly helping the online
activists in their attack on the US government and entertainment industry
websites which have been organized to protest against the proposed SOPA
legislation.
These anonymous people have started denial of the
service attacks which have been especially designed to shut down the websites.
Supporters want the people to download a software named Low Orbit Ion Canon
(LOIC). They want the computers get directed to repeatedly connect to the
target website. With so many digital knocks happening on the door, a website
can get shut down.
When LOIC is used, the IP address of the individual
computers who are trying to access the website can gets traced quite easily. If
this used, the participants can be traced and put for prosecution. But people
are fearlessly downloading the software and it has been known that around
19,000 people have downloaded the LOIC till now.
The fight between the Silicon Valley and Hollywood
is becoming hot with the implementation of SOPA and PIPA. If SOPA is
implemented, the activities on the Internet will become much slower and hence
it will be a big loss to the Silicon Valley companies like Google and Facebook.
Meanwhile the Hollywood companies are fighting it hard for the SOPA act as it
will put an end to the piracy of movies and songs and hence increase their
turnover and business to a great extent. Hence anonymous users are coming out
with a new tactic to avoid arrest of the users.
