MODERATORS
When someone asked the group who claimed responsibility on Twitter, they said this:
Later they made a long Tweet saying even more.
I'll be fully honest, I do not get it. At all.
You'd think they'd be attacking some government website or even FAANG if they really wanted to say something.
Looking through their feed, seems like most of their attacks are DDOS. Guess IA was one of the few they actually managed to breach.
Picking on easy targets is lame.
Yeah me neither. I don't think they understand the consequences of their own actions either. All that matters to them is "USA bad, good". They'd probably also burn down the fields in a country they import their food from.
When faced with an unstoppable death machine, you don't attack it is impervious. You savage it were it hurts most.
...eh, is IA really where it 'hurts most' though?
Hell, I bet most bigwig company execs would be thrilled if it went down, they're giving the influential people of the 'death machine' a reason to smile.
