I like your emphasis! I will never ever tell my story enough of how I was in a really sad story in a developing country, badly in need of (a lot of) cash and ended up borrowing what is here several months worth salary from a local friend to settle the issue because I couldn't withdraw from ATMs thanks to Anonymous.

That is the day I truly realized there was at least one person I could ask anything, so I'm not too mad at them. Well maybe that's because I put myself into that situation too :)



When did Anonymous disable an interbank network?


Interbank network? Have you been to some of the rural dumps in North America or Europe that are modem based?

I even saw one in rural France that used a web interface and kept 404ing people.


That's a very good point! I actually have no proof that they were the cause of the problem. I assumed it was them because it happened at the same time and I remember a news saying that Visa and MasterCard services were disrupted.


As far as I can tell, they only disrupted their web pages.
