A late-night denial-of-service attack shut down the official website of opponents of Prop 8, the ballot initiative that seeks to ban gay marriage in California. "We're getting on the order of 1000 connections from the same IP addresses, so yeah--it looks like an attack," a No on 8 campaign staffer wrote in an e-mail during the attack. At the same time across the country in Florida, the same type of attack sunk the website of opponents of a similar proposed ban. UPDATE: More details emerge, click here to read.




The FBI loves hearing about this kind of stuff, if I recall correctly.
lol a DoS. They need to get a better host. Especially if this attack is only from the set of same IP addresses, I can't imagine dealing with that would be too difficult.
Shame a DDoS would be illegal. I have a few hundred megabits (I daresay maybe even gigabits) of bandwidth that could be put to good use on the Yes on Prop 8 people :p
these little shits just inspired me to make a donation. fuck you very much!
