The Muslim Brotherhood blames da Joooos in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1.
(IPT) — The group responsible for attacks on Amazon, MasterCard, Paypal, and the Spanish Police has announced its intention to launch a crippling cyber-strike against Egypt’s main Islamist movement.
On Monday, Anonymous — a decentralized international hacking group — posted a video on YouTube warning that on Friday, the group’s members would band together to launch a coordinated distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on the Muslim Brotherhood’s main Arabic site, IkhwanOnline.
According to the video, the operation, billed “Operation Brotherhood Takedown,” aimed to crash the group’s servers because the Brotherhood’s “blatant, corrupt ways” have made it a “threat to the people” and “a threat to the revolution Egyptians had fought for, some with their lives.”
Brotherhood-affiliated candidates are expected to fare well in upcoming Egyptian elections, with control over parliament considered likely.
