WikiLeaks may have started as a small group of activists but now hackers all over the world are showing support by partaking in Dedicated Denial of Service attacks toward companies such as PayPal, Visa, and Mastercard, among others. WikiLeaks has promised that the next incriminating document dump will be about a large, U.S. bank, possibly Bank of America, and the private sector is getting worried about the impact on them. But some experts are saying that the attacks by the "hacktivists" are more a nuisance than a serious threat. Is the danger to business about cyber security or more about the release of corporate secrets? The attention is focused on this now but is there actually any more danger than there was before?
