The issue I have is theyre hurting others as collateral damage in their attacks, innocent people that could care less about this...
Sounds like terrorisim to me...

An attack that effects the people more than it effects the target is ill advised.
To be honest Pay Pal being down for a short period of time probably isn't the end of the world for anyone... But it surely could have harmed innocents. Imagine a young mother who was waiting for money to buy formula with that money, or the infant who could have been waiting to eat. Imagine a scared young woman, sitting at a bus station, waiting for funds to go through so she could find her way back home. Imagine a lot of things that could have happened. Because, in reality, something like these examples probably did occur today.

Solasis quoting me: ""Many small businesses have folded in this economy while others are struggling to survive. 8 hours could be a severe blow and may even be the final nail. For my self my business is a year old and cannot support us yet so I do handyman and odd jobs to try and stay alive, so missing 8 hours of business is a sever blow.""
Okay so if 8 hours can mean weeks worth of food, then what about the other 16 hours in a day? You continue not to actually explain anything. Just to assert "THIS IS TRUE." And to just blindly insult me, jerk.
but I really cannot comprehend how your business is that precarious. Just goddamn EXPLAIN something for once in this miserable thread. If you were just upset over lost revenue, that would be fine! But no, you are accusing Anon of starving people, and I DON'T SEE HOW THAT'S POSSIBLE. Instead of saying how it's possible you're just going "lol ignorant tard."

Why is everyone missing this.. THEY DID NOT ATTACK THE TRANSACTION SERVERS... I have done business on Paypal for the last week without 1 single interruption. I have talked to several other like minded folks on PayPal... Not one instance of failure or delay. To the tune of over 200 transactions since Monday....
Its all BS... Op took the opportunity for a PayPal failure...over dramatized it... And made it his own cross to bear.. Simply to make a point.. or for stars and flags.
ANON went after the corporate web site. Basically a shot across the bow.. Period!
If you going to fault ANON for anything, fault them for the ammo they just provided our Governments, to use when they regulate the internet.

I would love to see the reactions of those people who are telling me to suck it up and quit whining if their lives were at stake instead of mine and my children's.
Luckily I'm a smart business owner and have found an alternative so this mess will be solved shortly.
