Hacktivism

Chinese hackers release a program "anticnn.exe" that floods CNN's website with HTTP GET requests when triggered. This is in response to criticism by CNN and its reporters.
Damn!!! Where were these guys when I needed some major action while compiling content for my Honours thesis on Cyberwarfare?
Never piss off the Chinese.

* Hacktivism is "the nonviolent use of illegal or legally ambiguous digital tools in pursuit of political ends".
