Another "attack" scheduled in twenty minutes from now.
Although the only thing they do is DDoSing the servers so not much will occur nor leak. The swedish media is like "ZOMG, WE WILL BE ATTACKED! CALL IN THE NATIONAL GUARD!" While there is only young kids who sits in a basement and think they hack.

Where do I recognise this from..?

This is the typical Swedish people's view of it all, what I would say is that their points turns out to 100 Percent.

How Worthless and uncertain Our society is, as you say'' While there is only young kids who seat in a basement and think they hack''.

can take down sites at specific times and how they want, I laugh now, but that day it climbs up a more Knowledgeable person, who gives up on banks, and take down the pages and prevents us from living a normal life, in the internett society we have created us, things that we might think is safe as all our money in the bank one day maybe all those are gone, because of these people that can handle this type of computer hacking in a more extreme way and can get the information . this is an example, there are many ways to easily destroy society ...

I quote one of the Big hackers are now sitting by his prison sentence 10yrs +.


'' The day the system and society crashes, I am one of those who live on.''



So Swedish Government should take this serious and just dont ignore what is happening...

A DDoS'ed website or server can simply be put back up (Argonath management can relate). If they really want to hurt the government (and assuming they are actually good hackers), they would hit the pocket where it really hurts; actually stealing the money.

Its more of a public image which is getting damaged, think about the media and ofcourse the government is the one who is supposed to protect the country from digital attacks, everyone now sees that they cant even protect their own sites..

[Gandalf]

As we have already said and experienced, there are not many things to stop a targetted DDOS attack, other than having a number of backup networks to redirect to.
But DDOSsin a site is not hacking it. Nor does it make the information unavailable as the bank internal systems do not depend on the webapplication.
As its directed against a government, they have the resources and manpower to do what we can not: get every single IP used in the attack shut down until the malware is removed, and if within jurisdiction get analysis of the traffic sources.
It will be a war once the Swedish government decides to strike back.
