Anonymous Hackers Issue Chilling Ddos Warning Days After 'Bringing Down' Twitter, Others


Anonymous hackers have issued a chilling threat that a Distributed Denial of Service attack is "coming".

The attack - known as a DDoS attack - overloads websites and services to the point that they become unable to function...

Major banks have been hit in the past by similar attacks, and popular webpages and services such as Twitter, Spotify and Netflix have all been subject to recent attacks.



Hackers did not specifically say which service they would be attacking, however.

As well as targeting political campaigns and popular services, the hacking group has also campaigned against Islamic State in the past.
