How many hits can you get your supporters to put on the NYPD web site use this tactic to shut down or crash your chosen web site you can arrange by social networks.
please do not do this. This is an aggressive response which will only weaken what the movement stands for. a DNS attack will actually act as a provocation, giving the police a reason to raid the campsite and serve warrants for everyone's laptops and computers. Thereby cutting off communication and depriving people of a voice.
Don't. OWS will lose a lot of sympathy and support in that way.
OWS: please make sure people don't go hacking or cracking in name of the movement and distance yourselves from them.
They'll consider it an act of domestic terrorism and charge anyone visiting their site under "Homeland Security" laws. Don't you feel more secure now?
For what purpose? It wouldn't hinder their response or communications.
