What does it take to get the USA government to do the work of the people?

While the Republicans put Wall Street out of reach of the law, the American people are left virtually helpless to stop the MegaBillions of investment of corporations intent on buying the elections of 2012 as they did in 2010.

...In an interview, (click title to entry - thank you) Graham Cluley, a senior technology consultant at Sophos, called the latest technique by Anonymous "devilishly sneaky." In previous attacks, Anonymous enlisted supporters on a volunteer basis by calling on them to download a "low orbit ion cannon" -- a piece of software that launches large packets of data that overwhelm websites of organizations as a means of protest. Distributed Denial of Service attacks, known as DDoS for short, were responsible for helping Anonymous bring down the websites of Visa and Mastercard in 2010 in retaliation for their decision to cut ties with Wikileaks.

Cluley said Anonymous supporters have grown accustomed to clicking on links posted on the group's Twitter accounts, some of which have more than 200,000 followers, to read press releases about their latest exploits. But this time, he said, Anonymous supporters who clicked on the malicious link joined the attack and may have accidentally broken the law.

"If you participate in such an attack, you could find yourself receiving a lengthy jail sentences," Cluley wrote in a blog post.

Law enforcement has cracked down on participants in such attacks. Last July, the FBI announced charges against 14 people dating back to December 2010, when Anonymous members temporarily brought down PayPal's website in retaliation for the company suspending payments to the whistle-blower site Wikileaks....
