DOS attack on wikileaks.org. It will be interesting to find out who is behind it in technical terms. Everyone knows that a government (one of the most democratic ones?!) is behind it financially. But are the attackers part of the governments agency or have real hackers (criminals) been paid by the government.
If we are talking about some hacker (criminal) organisation being paid by a government to do dirty work then that is very worrying. Not because it is immoral but because we, ordinary citizens, suffer enormous damages caused by ID thefts, web accounts compromised, contact details stolen, spam etc.. All this of course if the work of such hacker (criminal) organisations and governments around the world allegedly cannot stop this.
It seams a lot clearer now why the governments do not want to stop hacker (criminal) organisations. They might come useful one day, like today for example (3/10/2010).
Is the west more democratic than the east? Sometimes!
NOTE: Not all hackers are criminals!!!
