I'm just so sad. The cruelty of this act against other people who have a sometimes debilitating medical condition is overwhelming. My insides feel like they were ripped up.

This is exactly the reason why we will NEVER have world peace.

Hey, group of hackers. If you happen to read this post (and i'm not sure that you will), please, i'm begging you, go back to stealing people's identities and files. Continue playing harmless pranks. But when you start messing with people in such a way that their bodies simply react without their control, you have crossed the line. This attack is much more than simply toying with people. Hackers have morals. Plain and simple. Everyone has a place to draw their line, whether it be mostly malicious or simply annoying. But what you have done here has crossed every moral boundary possible. You have toyed with a person's life, a life which has meaning and worth. A person can get new credit cards and change their passwords for online accounts, but there's no getting a life back once it's gone.

I know that you all probably think that you are just going to get away with this, and that there was no harm done. Still, this is simply taking advantage of a group of people who have a disease. This is the moral equivalent to torturing a kitten. It has no way to defend itself, and does not warrant the treatment.

Just answer me a few questions. Fist of all, why? Why did you decide to cause people physical harm? What have they ever done to you? Did your parents abuse you when you were young? Were you picked on in school? If so, this could explain your behavior towards those less fortunate.

It seems that it is true that power corrupts. I also believe that karma exists. You may believe that you are invincible, and that you are the best that ever was for playing such a prank. But at the end of the day, we all die, some sooner than others. Why not use your talents for good?

I just.......cannot understand. If any of you could explain your motives and tell why you decided to do such a thing, it would be much appreciated.

That is why the new anonymous is shifting to using the name "Legion".

are you serious? what sounds more likely:

a bunch of people from the group anonymous, who have stated that their war on scientology (their big cause) is purely ideological and will not result in any physical harm, attacking a group of people physically (more or less) who aren't even related to scientology,

OR

the church of scientology, who have a HUGE history of framing their critics, doing some evil bastardly thing and then framing their biggest opponent?

yes, they're leading questions, but they're right.]]>Mar 30th 2008 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/Mar 30th 2008 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/Apr 2nd 2008 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/Mar 29th 2008 8:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/Mar 29th 2008 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/Mar 29th 2008 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/Mar 29th 2008 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/Mar 30th 2008 3:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/29/hackers-embed-flashing-animations-on-epilepsy-support-forum/
