RIAA Goes Offline, Joins MPAA As Latest Victim Of Successful DDoS
Attacks


In an offense called “Operation Payback,” members of the Internet
collective Anonymous have organized what seems to be anti anti-piracy
movement. Dubbed by Torrent Freak as the ”protest of the future” 
the group has been pretty busy over the past 36 hours launching DDoS
attacks on the MPAA, Indian anti-piracy site AiPlex Software and today
both RIAA.com and RIAA.org. The attacks are apparently in retaliation
for comments the CEO of Aiplex software made about his firm being
hired by the film industry to take down The Pirate Bay.


The original call to arms below:


How fast you are in such a short time! Aiplex, the bastard hired gun
that DDoS’d TPB (The Pirate Bay), is already down! Rejoice, /b/
rothers, even if it was at the hands of a single anon that it was
done, even if ahead of schedule. now we have our lasers primed, but
what do we target now?


We target the bastard group that has thus far led this charge against
our websites, like The Pirate Bay. We target MPAA.ORG! The IP is
designated at “216.20.162.10″, and our firing time remains THE
SAME. All details are just as before, but we have reaimed our
crosshairs on this much larger target. We have the manpower, we have
the botnets, it’s time we do to them what they keep doing to us.


REPEAT: AIPLEX IS ALREADY DOWN THANKS TO A SINGLE ANON. WE ARE
MIGRATING TARGETS.


From the Anonymous media kit:


Operation:Payback is a bitch.

To whom it may concern,


This is to inform you that we, Anonymous, are organizing an Operation
called “Payback is a bitch”. Anonymous will be attacking the RIAA
(Recording Industry Association of America), the MPAA (Motion Pictures
Association of America), and their hired gun AIPLEX for attacks
against the popular torrent and file sharing site, the Piratebay (http://www.thepiratebay.org
). We will prevent users to access said enemy sites and we will keep
them down for as long as we can. But why, you ask? Anonymous is tired
of corporate interests controlling the internet and silencing the
people’s rights to spread information, but more importantly, the
right to SHARE with one another.The RI…
