Flow of events as the hacker specifically targeted the Anonymous group with the Trojanized Slowloris download.

Observed usage of the installed Zeus clients in the Anonymous Slowloris attack. Cookies, online banking credentials, and webmail credentials are sent to the server from the infected machines. Commands are given to the botnet clients to execute Slowloris and attack Anonymous hacktivism targets.

Thank you savit! - kudos added.

Another good quote from the source:

'Not only will supporters be breaking the law by participating in DoS attacks on Anonymous hacktivism targets, but may also be at risk of having their online banking and email credentials stolen. The joining of malicious financial and identity fraud malware, Anonymous hacktivism objectives, and Anonymous supporter deception is a dangerous development for the online world.'

Hey 'anonymous', breaking the law is NOT good for you all.:idea:

Anonymous, is getting more and more power. I'v personally saw them hacking the FBI'S web site 10 mins after the shut down of megaupload.
