4 Chan Goes Down

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Internet bad boys of 4 chan are looking for a new place to go while their home site keeps popping off of the internet.
Many claim it is the act of rumored different hacker groups. Yet no one has come forward and claimed responsibility for the activity. Most likely no one will take the credit for it, and just leave the internet’s largest number of frustrated teens, to be frustrated. Downside is, this will probably lead to lots of different groups getting blamed and E-lynch mob

Moot, the creator of 4chan claims there is a ddos attack going on, and says it is coming from 1… yep 1 single user. This was posted across all pages of the site yesterday, in between crashes.

Most likely place to house the 4chan users, will most likely end up being Reddit. but count on the illegal conversations, ceasing.

Let’s see how creative the users of 4chan can be and how instinctive they are to realize if they are being duped into slaughtering each other, other groups who have similar activity, or end up congregating in a temporary spot that turns out to be a trap/sting. I believe the wise ones will not accumulate anywhere that saves data of the users. Not many places like that on the web though.

Gawker sends out Breach Notice

Posted onAuthorTruXter

It seems during the period of time that all of the internet is flipping upside down from hackers, attackers and ddos assaults Gawkers has been compromised. Passwords have been stolen and account information has been stolen. Here is a letter I received from Gawker.

This weekend we discovered that Gawker Media’s servers were compromised,
resulting in a security breach at Lifehacker, Gizmodo, Gawker, Jezebel,
io9, Jalopnik, Kotaku, Deadspin, and Fleshbot. As a result, the user name
and password associated with your comment account were released on the
internet. If you’re a commenter on any of our sites, you probably have
several questions.

We understand how important trust is on the internet, and we’re deeply
sorry for and embarrassed about this breach of security. Right now we
are working around the clock to improve security moving forward. We’re
also committed to communicating openly and frequently with you to make
sure you understand what has happened, how it may or may not affect you,
and what we’re doing to fix things.

This is what you should do immediately: Try to change your password in
the Gawker Media Commenting System. If you used your Gawker Media
password on any other web site, you should change the password on those
sites as well, particularly if you used the same username or email with
that site. To be safe, however, you should change the password on those
accounts whether or not you were using the same username.

We’re continually updating an FAQ (http://lifehac.kr/eUBjVf) with more
information and will continue to do so in the coming days and weeks.

Rumors of Anon being connected in the Visa site going down
Just went to Visa, got redirect to usa.visa.com .
Earlier trip to visa.com gave me “error 500 server not found”.
But seems the issue has been resolved.

Visa site is back up. and looks updated.
Just wonder how many potential new visa credit card user registrations have been missed.
