Wikileaks: breaking news

December 9th, 2010 No comments

In these days after the publication of documents by Wikileaks all governments involved have condemned the act and declared it illegal and criminal, I think forgetting Articles 18-21 the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which enshrine the so-called “constitutional liberties”, such as freedom of thought, review, faith and belief, word, peaceful association of the individual.

Especially under pressure from the U.S. government's leading provider of computer services to Wikileaks Amazon, Table Software, EveryDns.com, PayPal.com, PostFinance.ch, MasterCard and Visa Europe have played 
 contracts and ended all relations with Wikileaks.

To understand the reasons for these companies I suggest you read the article Alessandro Gilioli on raining frogs: The seven sisters against freedom.

After a few days that these companies have boycotted Wikileaks have left a series of attacks by groups of hackers who have protested in their own way by making connections DDOS companies indicted. Instead of occupying the streets or squares to make its protest busy streets and squares of digital to hear his case.

Effettuari for these attacks used a software called LOIC and if you want to understand what happened technically I suggest you read Matthew's article on Campofiorit bufferoverflow.it.

What do you think?
