Internet Counterattack: Difference between revisions

* In 2011, a ''[[StarCraft|Starcraft 2]]'' player and trainer named Destiny was the target of DDOS attacks for several months, until he managed to get into contact with the attacker, who tried to blackmail him. However, Destiny managed to pull the attacker's IP and forwarded it to one of his friends, who managed to not only pull the attacker's name, contact information, and address, but the names and phone numbers of all of his immediate relatives as well. After making a call to the attacker to taunt him, Destiny got into contact with the attacker's father, who promised that his son would not do anything like this again. Destiny has not had a single DDOS attack since.

* Starting with is "Project Chanology" in 2008, the hacker group Anonymous has been metamorphosing into a group less interested in [[For the Lulz|lulz]] than in social justice (at least its interpretation of it). As of this writing its most recent actions have included supporting the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, "Operation Darknet" targeting hosts of child pornography, and its part in forcing officials to open or re-open rape investigations in Ohio and Missouri during 2013.
