Brazil Under Anonymous Attack – Tangara da Serra city site defaced! The attacks this week shut down the websites of the FBI and US Justice Department for several hours. Anonymous use DDoS attacks tools like so-called Low Orbit Ion Cannon which is a piece of software that volunteer hacktivists download to their PCs and choose to run, whereby it then starts blasting the target website with traffic. The group distributed Web links yesterday during its attacks on the Department of Justice, FBI, Universal Music and a host of other sites, that made joining the attacks as easy as clicking the mouse.
