Hacker group draws unwanted attention to Furries

LulzSec has waged war on Anonymous. In their Tweets HERE and HERE, they mention seeing a posting on /b/ where Anonymous advised that LulzSec was being too aggressive and needed to back off on its attacks or be hunted by Anonymous.

In LulzSec’s reponse, they refer to Anonymous as /b/tards -which is not uncommon to see, but referring to them as furries and the “furry hoard” has begun to draw in some unwanted attention to furries.  Hundreds of blogs and dozens of news sites have begun reprinting the tweets from LulzSec, and broadcasting them in some news casts and podcasts.

Since these postings, we’ve picked up new hits from several US Government IP addresses, including one coming in from the Department of Defense.

Nothing has happened for us so far, but we’re keeping an eye on things, just in case.

Related, if you have found some of your favorite gaming sites offline – like Minecraft, EVE or League of Legends, LulzSec’s DDoS attacks are responsible.  Their latest target was the CIA.

    they attack game sites and all that and then we wonder why there is tougher DRM. 

    • Myfile013

      wtf.  DRM has nothing to do with that.  You’re comparing apples to oranges.  Learn to debate, dumbfuck.

      • Steveredd

        debate sure. calling me a dumbfuck however is immature.

          Abusive language aside, DRM is intended to stop piracy, and nothing else. DDOS attacks are more like surprise protests outside a shop entrance that stop any real customers entering the store/visiting the site.

            Both however are Illegal, Anyways, I’m pretty sure the department of defense took one look at us and was like “HAHAHAH no.” Course now I have to worry about the fbi routing through my trash.

    First, this guy is a total loser. Second, before no one cared about him attacking 4chan, hell I wanted to see a glourious destruction of the two of them: NOT LITERALY CIA! Now, he’s playing with fire and is gonna get caught and locked up. Fourth, why is he refering to 4chan as furries, for someone supposedly so internet savvy he is rather stupid.

    Look. It’s a bit non-sense the way they’re trying to get 4chan down. Destroy  them by attacking furry websites as Furrybrasil was seems like aimless. They’re only going to give a little headache, but will have no success.

    WARNING: TAKE CARE OF YOUR FURAFFINITY ACCOUNTS. It’s obvious they’re going to attack there.
