Dear PayPal, its customers, and our friends around the globe,

2.

This is an official communiqué from Anonymous and Lulz Security in the name of AntiSec.

4.

In recent weeks, we've found ourselves outraged at the FBI's willingness to arrest and threaten those who are involved in ethical, modern cyber operations. Law enforcement continues to push its ridiculous rules upon us - Anonymous "suspects" may face a fine of up to 500,000 USD with the addition of 15 years' jailtime, all for taking part in a historical activist movement. Many of the already-apprehended Anons are being charged with taking part in DDoS attacks against corrupt and greedy organizations, such as PayPal.

What the FBI needs to learn is that there is a vast difference between adding one's voice to a chorus and digital sit-in with Low Orbit Ion Cannon, and controlling a large botnet of infected computers. And yet both of these are punishable with exactly the same fine and sentence.

In addition to this horrific law enforcement incompetence, PayPal continues to withhold funds from WikiLeaks, a beacon of truth in these dark times. By simply standing up for ourselves and uniting the people, PayPal still sees it fit to wash its hands of any blame, and instead encourages and assists law enforcement to hunt down participants in the AntiSec movement.

Quite simply, we, the people, are disgusted with these injustices. We will not sit down and let ourselves be trampled upon by any corporation or government. We are not scared of you, and that is something for you to be scared of. We are not the terrorists here: you are.

We encourage anyone using PayPal to immediately close their accounts and consider an alternative. The first step to being truly free is not putting one's trust into a company that freezes accounts when it feels like, or when it is pressured by the U.S. government. PayPal's willingness to fold to legislation should be proof enough that they don't deserve the customers they get. They do not deserve your business, and they do not deserve your respect.

14.

Join us in our latest operation against PayPal - tweet pictures of your account closure, tell us on IRC, spread the word. Anonymous has become a powerful channel of information, and unlike the governments of the world, we are here to fight for you. Always.

Signed, your allies,

Hmm even though i hate paypal since they closed my account for 4 months, there isnt any logical alternative.
 
Where is the text for #2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18? This looks like selective reporting

I disagree with this, I'm part of the people and I don't agree with their motives or tactics. They are not a public organization, they are a very un-public self-centered group who want to push their views on the world. They are Terrorist.

I think that this was just pasted from an application that uses line numbers (somehow captured in the copy) I'm thinking possibly pastebin? The even numbers are just blank lines between paragraphs.
I have no comment about Anon either way.
 
This is probably the most peaceful thing they've done - encouraging a boycott rather than attacking them again, this time.

But will they remain at just urging a boycott, or will they actively attack PayPal and publish account details? Their track record is far from spotless on this. I use PayPal and there is no real alternative. I don't have much in it but I do depend on it for most of my online transactions.

I thought they already attacked PayPal once? Maybe this is why they're urging a boycott this time, because they already attacked them once, and their security was too good? Who knows. I've gone to a PayPal building before and gotten to see their server room; was pretty cool. They have several active, on-the-fly encryption servers that are always running, which was sweet to see.

And agreed there isn't really any alternative to PayPal that's widely accepted, or that I would trust.
 
and they're prolly using amazon ec2 cloud instances as well for this. they are hella cheap and even the first 600 some compute hours are free!

LulzSec are also using CloudFlare to hide the true webhost. it masks the hosting company info and provides a service kinda like a CDN but not quite. It also helps against attacks.
 
I don't like how wikileaks funds are held by paypal. they should turn the money over to the proper authorities (FBI?).
