If that's not it, click around and you'll get it.
>White supremacist group "Anonymous" has brought down EA servers in an attack that the company is calling "misguided and petty." Electronic Arts has recently come under fire by the group who claims it was using spam bots to create fake support for the All Out support drive.
>Anonymous' claim seemed to be backed by several repeat posts and duplicate entries purportedly posted by EA spam bots, which are now coming to light as the work of Anonymous themselves. After the group launched a campaign on Reddit in an attempt to drum up notoriety, EA launched its own investigation and confirmed that the spam bots did indeed belong to the racist hacktivist group. Readers might remember them from the Playstation Network hacking in the past, which brought the service down for millions of users.
>"They did the same thing to Sony by stealing credit card numbers and committing identity fraud," says David Blear, an EA spokesperson. "They're saying that their bots actually belong to EA, all to prevent the LGBT message from spreading. It's really misguided and sad."
>The important question yet remains unanswered: In this obvious political bid, is it proper to call them spam bots anymore? Shouldn't they be referred to as "Spam Droids?"
>Kotaku has tried to reach out to Anonymous for response, but so far hasn't heard back. This story will be edited should any new information present itself.
It just gets worse.
/v/, are you spam droids?
