The hackers have recruited volunteers on Twitter, in Internet Relay Chat and on Pastebin, a site frequently used by Anonymous to publicize such attacks.

The attacks, while not technically sophisticated, can be difficult to thwart. The best the owner of a site under attack can hope for is to get between the targeted site and the attacking site. But blocking the attack is nearly impossible because of the innumerable sites on the Internet on which Anonymous can post their attack tools.

So basically this is like online guerrilla warefare, is it? You can mobilize people worldwide and attack without being controlled by your country's own policy towards a country. Interesting... to be honest I haven't read much about these guys before. I wonder how long they can keep it up.
