Anonymous fordert PayPal-Kunden auf ihre Konten aufzulösen

(PresseBox) (Duisburg, )
Das Hacktivisten-Kollektiv Anonymous hat über die Webanwendung Pastebin eine Mitteilung an Kunden des Online-Bezahlsystems PayPal veröffentlicht. Im Rahmen der „Operation AntiSec“ ruft Anonymous alle Benutzer von PayPal auf, den Zahlungsdienstleister zu boykottieren. Hintergrund der Aktion: PayPal hatte während der Wikileaks-Protestaktionen Spendenkonten der Enthüllungsseite eingefroren. Daraufhin startete Anonymous eine DDoS-Attacke auf das Internet-Unternehmen und legte die PayPal Webseite durch Massenanfragen lahm. Auslöser der aktuellen Kampagne sind die hohen Haft- und Geldstrafen, die den festgenommenen Teilnehmern dieser Aktion drohen. Angaben der veröffentlichten Mitteilung zufolge handelt es sich dabei um 500.000 Dollar Strafe und bis zu 15 Jahre Haft. In ihrer Botschaft fordern die Anonymous-Mitglieder PayPal-Kunden dazu auf, Alternativen zur Ebay-Tocher zu suchen.
