News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

This is horrible reporting. First the headline states Anonymous targeted someone. Then they say this someone incurred the wrath of both Anonymous and The Pirate Bay which implies that TPB had something to do with it. Finally they post a statement from TPB that they specifically had nothing to do with it. They do not give the TPB statement as an update so they knew from the beginning that TPB was not involved, but implied it anyway. They even decided to make TPB part of the "hacking collective", since when is TPB a group of hackers?

I don't see the point in doing this anyway. Virgin was following a court order and had no choice in the matter. Plus, what change are they hoping for by bringing down a website? Big deal. Bringing down websites is what children did in the 90s, it will change nothing.

"Bringing down websites is what children did in the 90s, it will change nothing."

The same can be said about most action attributed to Anonymous.
