LulzSec: Why we do what we do
I agree with showing how poorly secured websites are and how easily our information is distributed even when we think it's private.<p>What I don't agree with is their use of DDoS attacks against sites like cia.gov.<p>DDoS attacks are pointless. All they point out is how a site has limited resources for dealing with so many concurrent connections.<p>Sites should deploy onto an infrastructure they feel is adequate to deal with the expected load plus some additional room for growth and spikes.<p>I'm sure the cia.gov doesn't get hit very hard on a normal day so they didn't go crazy on infrastructure which is understandable. A DDoS proves nothing and prevents people from accessing data.<p>If you're going to hack, please wear a white or grey hat.
