Updated: NYSE Hacked! Is the Anonymous Infrastructure Crumbling? [Video]

Update: It looks like some members of Anonymous were able to take the  website for the New York Stock Exchange offline for approximately two minutes. No trading was affected. A compromise, or just a failed mission? Also, what about the "no hacking on a holiday" rule??

After his interview, General McChrystal was on his own, like a rolling stone. Last month, it was Carly Fiorina caught on camera mocking her general-election opponent Barbara Boxer for hair Read More
