Twitter gets DOSed, 4Chan not Responsible?
Twitter was taken down by the last trick known to the “hacker” community. Oh sure, passwords still get stolen and personal information still gets used to humiliate the semi-public figures of the Internet, but it’s all done in a remarkably low-tech manner, using the digital equivalent of old-style private eyes. All that’s left for script kiddies is the poor distributed denial of service, used indiscriminately for destroying racist talk show hosts or random AT&T customers. Like a Sergio Leone villain, the Final Boss of the Internet has a few tricks but only one real weapon, and a taste for high-profile targets. So that’s my prediction, let’s see how it pans out.
Updated to add that I’m definitely not the first to theorize the connection, but I am the first to equate the Final Boss of the Internet with Indio.
