I'm pretty sure they are capable of defending themselves. Wouldn't want to be an AT&T exec right now. Not saying its justified, but their past behavior speaks

I'm pretty sure they are capable of defending themselves. Wouldn't want to be an AT&T exec right now. Not saying its justified, but their past behavior speaks to what probably will happen.
- blazamos 17y ago4chan is unprofitable/barely profitable (depends on the month). The only way they can legally defend themselves is through the generosity of a third-party (EFF). Or just hack AT&T into oblivion.
- vaksel 17y agowhen people say 4chan, they don't mean 4chan the company, they mean the thousands of people with skills to make your life a living hell.
- jonny_noog 17y agoIndeed. They usually mean ... * cue dramatic music * ... Anonymous. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_%28group%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_%28group%29 Though I'm not sure if I would go so far as to say "the thousands of people with skills to make your life a living hell", I would probably have said "the thousands of people with the time to make your life a living hell". I don't think many of them are that skilled.
- tsally 17y agoAlso, because of their antics, they have the ability to generate a large amount of press. This is probably more important than any actual damage they could do.
- adrianwaj 17y agoHow would someone, for example make MJ's dad's life a living hell via 4chan?
- NathanKP 17y ago"Or just hack AT&T into oblivion." I'm sure that it has already begun. ;)
- praptak 17y ago"Not saying its justified, but their past behavior speaks to what probably will happen." You mean that a moderate number of folks in goofy outfits will gather near AT&T headquaters? Scary indeed.
