OurMine, it turns out (and they freely admit) have been doxed before, multiple times. Their enemiesTeamBudyBear make something of a theme of it on their Twitter account, complete with screenshots. In addition to DDoS attacks, several months ago OurMine had claimed to have defaced Anonyinfo.com, which naturally did not go over well.
We spoke with @AnonyInfo to get some background on the attacks, both on WikiLeaks and the retaliatory dox by AnonyInfo. The “deface” it turned out was nothing more than an opportunistic seizure of an expired domain AnonyInfo was no longer using. AnonyInfo had no prior knowledge of OurMine. “No, only when they claimed to hack/deface our website. It was July, 8th. We immediately responded and exposed their lies. Most likely it was for publicity, yet if they continue to do these type[s] of attacking they’ll have us to worry about.”
AnonyInfo first of all denied OurMine had the skills or the botnet to do this themselves. “They’re probably using someone, using a booter. There’s no way they’re using a botnet.” In other words, they don’t run an army of enslaved zombie computers, they’re just renting time on someone else’s to get this done. And given WikiLeaks’ history with DDoS attacks and protection (including being the victim of the largest DDoS in history, back in the day), it has to have been pretty powerful. “These skids have 0 skills. Most tangodownthat are happening are a result of booters. Turkey/SA just got tango down’d by a booter. It was @AR_Talents.” Talents has publicly claimed to have taken Syria offline as well and is leading the charge of #OpDDoSISIS. For the full article click here
