While it is certainly not new the fallout from the Wikileaks postings continue to come to light. As companies have decided not to be involved with Wikileaks and have distanced themselves from Wikileaks they have become the target of attackers that feel they are the bad guys. There have DDOS attacks against Mastercard, PayPal, Visa and others. Many of these attacks have been carried out by a group that call themselves “Anonymous”. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective) for those that want to join Anonymous in their “hacktivisim” they are not truly anonymous.
Below is a link to an excellent paper that analyzes these DDOS attacks and the tool used to generate it. It is a good read.
