Anonymous Vows to Go After Wikileaks

Don't like the new paywall that has been introduced to the site

|

Nameless hackers with the online protest movement "Anonymous" have turned on longtime ally WikiLeaks for deploying a paywall on its website that blocks access to the site's trove of formerly secret files unless users donate or tell their friends about WikiLeaks via social media.

Calling the tactic "filthy and rotten," a post to the "AnonPaste" website Thursday night said that WikiLeaks has gone too far for the hacker community to abide, so they're taking matters into their own hands and plotting revenge.
