Hacking group Anonymous took down a tourist-oriented website in Orlando, Florida Tuesday, vowing it will launch a denial-of-service attack on a different tourist-related website every day as a way of protesting the arrests of members of a group helping feed the homeless there. That could make the city the hack-iest place on earth, as well as being home to Disney World, the "happiest place on earth."
The website hit by Anonymous Tuesday, OrlandoFloridaGuide.com, was an "odd target," said the Orlando Sentinel: "a privately owned tourism site that has no apparent affiliation with City Hall. That website went offline shortly before 10 a.m.; the group's news release indicated it would remain disabled until 6 p.m."
However, as of 1 p.m ET, the site was accessible.
"Everyday we will launch a new DDoS attack on a different target," said Anonymous on its "Operation Orlando" website. The group also vowed to continue to "email millions of people in 50 countries with the Boycott Orlando campaign message."
The reason for the anger was the recent arrest of members of Orlando Food Not Bombs, including the group's president. Orlando Food Not Bombs is described by the Orlando Sentinel as an "anti-poverty group that has been feeding large groups of homeless people in Lake Eola Park." The effort was "in defiance of a controversial ordinance that requires permits to feed large groups in downtown parks, and limits any group to no more than two permits per year, per park."
Last week, Anonymous emailed the Orlando Chamber of Commerce, warning it would take its website down last Monday, and did. Scott Fagan of the chamber, told station WKMG that the site was down because of the intentional overload of its servers — which is what a denial-of-service attack achieves, deluging and overwhelming a website with traffic so that it takes a site offline.
Now, stepped-up website attacks will come because the "city of Orlando has ignored our warnings," Anonymous said.

Damn you anonymous.....>_<

wait so why are they doing this?

Yeah, I have a lot to say actually. But all you have to say is "I know I'm wrong, and I have nothing else to support my case, so I will just act like I'm right, back away from the argument, and hope no one notices." Typical stupidity. It's okay though. You justcsaved me a lot of time and effort. Now why don't you do something productive, instead of acting like you know about things that you obviously don't? "You got merked." What are you? Five or just a faggot? :rolleyes:

I think Anonymous is a great group they hack for the people not because they feel like it they are helping others.

Do You Pick A fight with er one kid? I suggest you get off your computer, go outside, and talk to a girl or something. Nigga Pick a Fight with me and imma have you Buggin.

12 Year olds giving opinions on matters they can't even comprehend.

Good laugh.

i don't believe anonymous anymore :S

Really, now? Try me. It's the Internet, kiddo. The most you'll do is make me chuckle a bit. Also, I tried to provide information. Biz was the douche who started acting like a child. :y: but by all means, act like one too. You all need to calm down. I also like how you tell me to go outside, but you're the one trying to be an Internet Tough Guy. Really helps your image, man. Don't pick fights unless you can end them, and believe me, I have no problem coming on here 15 minutes a day to lash back at you.

A ten year old could figure out what is going on, d00d. It's only Anonymous. xD If you think otherwise, maybe you could shed some light on your reasoning, instead of making things short and vague?

Anybody ever wonder if these hackers that are going around are targeting NGU???? I bet they are. I mean NGU is a huge forum and if you don't know about NGU then ware the hell are you from???
