The final phase of Operation Overlord, 4chan's loosely-orchestrated effort to bring down Tumblr, is on. And this time they're bringing their LOIC's. LOIC stands for Lower Orbit Ion Cannon, the nickname of a program that will DoS (Denial of Service) attack a targeted site.





Meanwhile, Tumblr is planning a reverse raid:



Raiding 4chan? Like one /b/ user says, "Isn't that like pissing into an ocean of piss? What's the point?"



SURVIVAL GUIDE TO 4CHAN'S RAID



Don’t click any links, even if its someone you’ve been following forever. Its easy to make one link appear as another. Someone could have made it a virus. -Change your password to something INCREDIBLY hard to guess but easy to remember. If you get hacked, chances are that your hacker needs to guess it.



-Put in your Tumblr description that (only for people who follow back) that you will follow back as soon as this 4chan thing is over.



-Even if they say WHAT IS AIR, give out a popular tumblr name, whatever, DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR TUMBLR URL. Inform all of your followers of this. Now that they know it they can hack easier and find out private information. If one of your followers get hacked you may be hacked also, along with who you’re following. -Don’t post a lot tomorrow, especially if you usually get a lot of notes.



-If you have a good virus blocker, use it or try to download one. -For Windows, put up your firewall. Anyone else.. put up any virus blocks possible.

A commenter from my last post wrote:It seems like I’m making a huge deal about this but 4chan is stronger than us. They already got Jessi Slaughters address, phone number, from her Formspring, Tumblr, Piczo, Myspace, and YouTube. In a span of a day. This will go on for probably a week. Be careful, guys.
