The Anonymous

A first day after we came back from the weekend we continued to talk about the Scientology problem. We talked about how dangerous could the Internet be. We also listened to the threat video that the hacking group Anonymous sent to the church of the Scientology. We also learned that Anonymous did many horrible things like ruin children's life by hacking into their computers and stealing information from there. We also discussed about how does the Hackers feel, some people mentioned that they were people with no life that lived under their parents basements, and some people consider this as fact, and our teacher told us that hackers are usually people who are unsatisfied with their life and get their pleasure by causing other peoples misery. We also learned that people who are hackers are not really smart. Not all hackers know how to use coding, some may just use hacking programs that other people wrote to hack, which doesn't make them smart, they just use programs to do the work for them. We also learned that downloading cracked software and other things like this may have bots in them. With these bots the hackers are able to activate them and use these bots to control your computer to do things for them like send them your personal information, a persons credit card number, and many more. Anonymous destroyed the Church of Scientology's server by have millions of computers go onto the same place at the same time which caused the server to crash, and the reason so many computers went on the server is because they activated the bots they planted on software that was cracked and whoever had that had a bot so the bot would make the computer go into the server, and this happened to millions of computers so that is why the website crashed. Anonymous currently has 3 videos and you can find them on Youtube.
