Anarcho-Doritologist hacker collective has declared war on the New York Stock Exchange and will launch a "raid" on the company's website on Monday, October 10! Or is "Operation Invade Wall Street" a "fake planted operation"? Or maybe it doesn't really matter either way.
If you buy the video (which, if it's a "plant," is convincingly self-serious), Anonymous' plan is essentially the same as the one that briefly took down PayPal and MasterCard: Convince a bunch of people to download and run a program that will effect a distributed denial of service attack on the target, in this case the NYSE website. It's called "Operation Invade Wall Street," and will happen on October 10.

Those hackers are not going to let a Federal holiday get in the way of their plans!

I’m not sure the NYSE can be taken down by hackers.
Interrupted and interfered with but as I understand it, there’s no real connection to the net.

The Headline:
Hackers Will Take Down the Stock Exchange on Monday, or Maybe Not From the article:
...and will launch a "raid" on the company's website on Monday, October 10!
Sorry, but a website is not bringing the NYSE down.

Too bad the NYSE is closed for business Monday, i.e. Columbus Day.

It takes determination and effort. There is a greater abundance of pissed off youth, with plenty of determination and looking for an outlet in their efforts, than anytime in the last 30 years at least. This is the 2007-11 dem control of congress and obama’s desired result. I try not to underestimate other people. We are generally very intelligent when we try hard enough.
