Whilst a great sensationalist article you appear to have missed the fact that 'Anonymous' also denied they were involved or were sponsoring such a plan. That is the inherent problem is that there is no real group, anyone can say anything and claim it to be 'Anonymous'

You also missed the fact that one of the sponsors of the attack was Sabu.... who happened to work for the Feds... a US government agency that apparently had absolute control over him for nine months prior to his 'arrest', the same government that wants greater control over the Internet and are willing to go to any means to get it.... so maybe you should have titled your article, US plans massive attack on DNS infrastructure and wrote your article around that, it would have have had just as much validity and probably got you a few more hits for the ratings.

I was reading through the comments, hoping someone had already said this. Thank you. I feel like people are on the "blame Anonymous" train and don't even really investigate what they say (especially journalists, they love to do it). Yeah, Anonymous does plenty of irritating stuff, but in this case, it's probably not actually an Anonymous operation at all.
