From the article: "On December 20th, 2006, an internet raid was conducted on the radio show of white supremacist Hal Turner, known for his support of violence against minorities. During the show, an unusually large amount of prank calls were made, loosely organized through internet forums and IRC."
What happened next is beond belief. A large number of anonymous folks basically shut down his site, and have been going after several larger white supremacist forums. The entire attack seems to have been co-ordinated between two internet imageboards, and no one quite knows what is going to happen. The amazing thing? These events all occurred over the course of five days.
This illustrates the power of anonymity and communication on the internet, and the ease with which something like this can be done. Security paper, inspiration for a new form of access log, or simply amusement; You make the call.
