...and you thought clicking the wrong thread in GFY was bad...
RyAnne Fultz, 33, says she suffered her worst epileptic attack in a year after she clicked on the wrong post at a forum run by the nonprofit Epilepsy Foundation.
Anonymous "hackers" caused epileptic fits in users of an epilepsy forum. In this attack, possibly the first computer attack to inflict physical harm on the victims, the unknown attackers created hundreds forum entries with flashing pictures.
A 33-year-old woman who suffers from epilepsy clicked on a forum post which caused her screen to be filled with a rapidly flashing pattern in different colors. She locked up and could not move until turned away by her 11 year old son.
Wired.com reports that evidence suggests the attack was the work of members of Anonymous, an informal collective best known for their recent DDOS attacks on the Church of Scientology.
