Anonymous attack on Amazon.com appears to fail - Computerworld: "This morning's planned distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attack against Amazon.com by Anonymous, a hacker group that has launched similar attacks against organizations it sees attempting to censor WikiLeaks, appears to have failed.
Anonymous started attacking Amazon's Web site at 11 a.m. Eastern time, but it appeared to quickly abandon the effort after realizing how little impact it was having, said Paul Mutton, a security analyst at U.K.-based Internet monitoring firm Netcraft.
'The attack didn't seem to make a dent on Amazon.com,' which is not surprising, considering Amazon's network infrastructure, he said. 'The size of [the Anonymous] botnet was not large enough to have any impact.'"
