Patriotic ‘hackitivist for good’ may be behind takedown of 4chan.org

[JacobG18]

The cyber-vigilante known as “the Jester” may be behind a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) against the website 4chan.org, an online community that has facilitated coordinated attacks against the websites of corporations that have cut ties with WikiLeaks.

In the past, the self-described “hackitivist for good” has released claims of responsibility via his Twitter handle, th3j35t3r, and used the catch phrase “TANGO DOWN” to acknowledge responsibility for website attacks, typically against sites considered to be supportive of terrorism in the Middle East.

Tuesday, a tweet released by the Jester reads: “4chan.org – that looks like a TANGO DOWN (not) maybe you guys pissed off the wrong person trying to (wrongly) ID me?”

It is unclear from the cryptic message whether the Jester is claiming credit for the attack. Anonymous, the hacking group that emerged from 4chan and took down the websites of MasterCard and others, has claimed that the identity of the Jester is a Montana resident named Robin Jackson.

The Jester previously took down the website of WikiLeaks, issuing several tweets on November 28 reading, “www.wikileaks.org – TANGO DOWN – for attempting to endanger the lives of our troops, ‘other assets’ & foreign relations.” He also attacked the server of a chat site used by Anonymous.

Huh. This should be interesting. I was under the impression that 4chan had taken a Christmas break, but this will certainly wake them up.

I guess patriotic is the new euphemism for Government stooge. Wilson and Lincoln would be proud.

th3j35t3r aka Robin Jackson is an overblown script kiddie that has been DDoSing for "a whole two years." Recently he has taken it upon himself to hack against hackers, paving the way towards the cancer of the internet, by attacking two schism operations of Anonymous for "defending Wikileaks and it's terrorist actions." 20,000 dollars (5,000 dollars an hour) later by renting a RoadRunner server Robin Jackson managed to get one of the sites shut down server-side, only to sprout up across 14 other mirrors.

It's a shame that in his own crusade against us, the Anonymous, his own identity has been revealed. Expect us, and enjoy the show.
