Summary:
In this article, a person is charged of planning to make a cyber attack to harm the website of the Church. This is about a group named “ Anonymous” who write many anonymous to the website. The author says the man who downloads the software is culpable, the program can arrest people log in the website, and the website will be very lagged with the electric rubbish. The reason of this injury is an online video has a lot of debates, so that the negative person uses the “Anonymous” to harass the website that sends the video. This cyber attack is harmful, because the group lets people download the “denial of service” and to place prank phone calls. It’s not only the problem for the Church, but also influencial people who view the websites. However, the criminals will get the proper punishment.

Reaction:
After I read this article, I think the crime of the Internet has become more and more popular. The author only shows one kind of criminal behavior, and I hate all of this bad behavior. In my country, there are also some people also use malware or spyware to violate the Internet order. If you download them or click them on their website, you could get problems. In this case, we need care about the realm name of the website, and we must be careful when we want to download something. This is an effective way to avoid the cyber attack. On the other hand, the government should make the offence reporting system of the Internet crime, because it can help policemen or the website workers deal with the problem. However, everybody should strike the crime of the Internet and avoid being attacked. I think the Internet is a useful tool to share good information and resource, but not the trick of Internet crime.
