People, I am surprised nobody yet thought of this..
I strongly suspect that the Imageboard Community isn't behind the latest 'accomplishments' of Anonymous.
Though I can not provide any evidence to support my suspicion there is something fishy here.
Taking sites hosted on single computers or simple load balancers is possible with a DDOS. At first the sophistication of the attacks is greatly
exaggerated by the press. Second the performance accessible within a grid computing environment is way higher than anything else.
That's why Wikileaks used the Amazon services in the first place, it is practically immune to DDOS attacks.
My concrete suspicion is that Anonymous had help from either inside. (The 'victims' playing dead on purpose or a few hours) or People with access to
high speed Internet connections (major backbones, transnational fibre links,
you know who that would be....)
