About
Operation: Payback Is A Bitch, also known as Operation: Payback, is a series of DDoS attacks organized by users of 4chan’s /b/ (random) board on September 17th, 2010 against major entertainment industry websites such as the websites for the Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture Association of America. The attacks began September 19th, 2010, and have continued unabated for over one month.
Beginning on December 7th, 2010, the DDos assaults led by Anonymous successfully brought down Paypal, Visa and MasterCard’s websites in retaliation against their decision to suspend all transactions with WikiLeaks, reportedly under political pressure from the U.S. State Department. Some of the other targeted sites include Amazon and Swiss Postal Finance. For the latest updates, check out the Operation Avenge Assange section below in the entry.
Origin
The plan for Operation: Payback was initially made by the users of 4chan as a response to the DDoS attacks carried out by Indian company Aiplex Software who were hired by major media companies to carry out said DDoS attacks against music and movie torrenting sites, such as The Pirate Bay, a well known torrenting site.
After learning of the DDoS on the torrenting sites, 4chan users (/b/tards in particular) began planning their own retaliatory attacks on media websites, with the MPAA and Aiplex as their first targets.
General Reaction
After releasing this poster on 4chan and spreading it around the boards, the instigators were able to assemble multiple users bent on taking down the sites, and were able to do so, bringing the website down for over an hour on the first day, with over 22 hours down on the MPAA website and over 24 hours for Aiplex total.
Website
With the creation of the Official Website for Operation: Payback, anons were able to concentrate their efforts on specific targets at specific times, with little need for collaboration over 4chan itself and the ability to strike a wider variety of targets.
Spread/Continued Attacks
After the original attacks against Aiplex and the MPAA, the users decided to continue the Operation, taking down any websites that they disagree with or that have a hand in the attempt to take down The Pirate Bay.
Attacked Websites/Downtime
Throughout the over 1 month of attacks, many websites were brought down. Some, like MPAA were brought down over 20 times in the space of a couple days.
