Interesting "stuff"
IainB:
I had just started posting this a few hours previously, when the donationcoder.com website apparently went down for a couple of hours. I wondered if I had somehow done it by invoking the wrath of Anonymous, or something. :o
Saw this in my bazqux feed-reader - an amusingly laconic hack page by Anonymous:
Anonymous Hacks and Takes Down 10,613 Dark Web Portals
(Section copied below sans embedded hyperlinks/images.)
Anonymous hackers have breached Freedom Hosting II, a popular Dark Web hosting provider, and have taken down 10,613 .onion sites.

Without thinking, I tried to see to see the hacked page they give in the display - 3pdusanecay3uhs6.onion - but got this:
Onion/Hidden service
You are trying to reach an onion/hidden service. To access 3pdusanecay3uhs6.onion via web you will have to use the Tor Browser.

- but I don't have a Tor Browser installed. :-[
Some people (not me, you understand) might say that organisations such as Freedom Hosting II, probably rightly deserve whatever they get, but I couldn't possibly comment.
Was a sobering reminder to me though as to how insulated most Internet browsers (users) probably are from the seamy/criminal side of the Internet, where one's greatest concern might be (for example), approaching the problem of ensuring that one's 6y/o child has not been inadvertently enabled to surf porn sites. Some of the online games sites my 6y/o son uses seem to have some decidedly dodgy-looking adverts and links, so I have been trying to employ "safe-site" domain permissions. It might be my imagination, but the problem seems to have worsened over time, since my daughter was 6y/o.
