Anonymous DDoS attempts are a way to raise global awareness for rights and freedom issues, former MI5 agent Annie Machon told RT. The real cyber-terrorism is happening on a state level, taking such forms as the Stuxnet virus, she said.
Anonymous hacktivist group on Sunday launched a massive cyber-attack dubbed #OpIsrael, and claimed to have taken down hundreds of Israeli websites. The sites that reportedly crashed included the web pages of the Israeli Defense Ministry and Knesset, as well as some Israeli branches of major companies.
But according to Machon, such actions should not be considered hacking attacks, rather a form of a mass-scale protest against the state-level clampdown on freedoms.
