That's bad. It would be one thing if the hackers posted insulting messages on the board, but to post up animation that they suspect will trigger attacks should make it criminal, although I have no idea how severe a crime this should be considered.

A news report on this said it was set up by a web group called "Anonymous". They are mainly known for their raids on the Church of Scientology. They plan their "raids" on imageboards such as 4chan.org, 711chan.org, etc.

Thank You Wiki

Back on topic, this is an asshole thing to do.

That has to be scary as hell for those folks. Some people are just demented and cruel.

The primary group at blame is 7chan. They claim it was the Church of Scientology that did it, and came to their message boards to sort of frame them. Very unbelievable the way they put it, but I also wouldn't be surprised.

Either way the attack is disgusting. You know your life sucks when your only form of entertainment is making others suffer. (Not that we don't all enjoy that from time to time :P but it's different!)

what exactly is 7chan. i was in my school library a few weeks ago and the girl beside me was blabbing on to her friend about how 7chan is better than 4chan.

It's an imageboard essentially. Full of "memes" (inside jokes) and immature 30 year olds that organize cruel shit. For example, they raided Habbo Hotel, a game for preteens and such, and made Swastikas and blocked the entrance to the pool claiming "the pool was closed due to AIDS.

Tell me about it.

I don't think they're getting enough credit for sticking it to the Church of Scientology. The "Church" has spent a lot of time/money trying to scapegoat them for stuff like this. Or it could be immature members of the group.
