Hey Anonymous, can you quit picking on the Scientologists for a second and take care of this meathead?
Author: spencer8 May
Hi Anonymous,
I know this won’t be quite as much fun as your ongoing war with the Scientologists, but some hacker tapped into the Epilepsy Foundation’s Web site and put up a whole bunch of flashing shit, which sent people into seizures. STOP LAUGHING. Yeah, it seems kinda funny for a second, but once the giggles clear up you might realize how completely fucked up and evil that shit is. That’s on some malignant shit right there. It’s like picking on a kitten.
From Wired News:
…In a rare example of an attack apparently motivated by malice rather than money, hackers recently bombarded the Epilepsy Foundation’s Web site with hundreds of pictures and links to pages with rapidly flashing images.
The breach triggered severe migraines and near-seizure reactions in some site visitors who viewed the images. People with photosensitive epilepsy can get seizures when they’re exposed to flickering images, a response also caused by some video games and cartoons.
The attack happened when hackers exploited a security hole in the foundation’s publishing software that allowed them to quickly make numerous posts and overwhelm the site’s support forums.
Within the hackers’ posts were small flashing pictures and links - masquerading as helpful - to pages that exploded with kaleidoscopic images pulsating with different colors.
“They were out to create seizures,” said Ken Lowenberg, senior director of Web and print publishing for the foundation.
Can someone find out who did this and ruin them, please? thanx

On the boards where anons hang out, there’s a saying: Not Your Personal Army. Trying to order a herd of cats just kind of doesn’t work.
As an epileptic anon, I’d be down for making the life of someone who did that to me IF I had the skills and time. But I don’t have the skills or inclination. And part of me honestly wonders why EFA allowed gifs in the first place. Seems like the logical thing to do would have been to not allow gifs in the first place.
