Computer attacks typically don't inflict physical pain on their victims.
But in a rare example of an attack apparently motivated by malice rather than money, hackers recently bombarded the Epilepsy Foundation's Web site with hundreds of pictures and links to pages with rapidly flashing images.
The breach triggered severe migraines and near-seizure reactions in some site visitors who viewed the images.

Scum like this give Hackers a bad name, they actually wanted to cause physical harm ( I don't get it! how much of a loser do you have to be to do something like that?)

Lol, 10 bucks says it was /b/tards or some other group in Anonymous.

EDIT: Actually, if I remember correctly it was Anon.

Thats pretty bad though

Exactly what I first thought! +1 to you!

That's truly disgusting. I hope the lame ass hackers get what they deserve.

I thought it was pretty funny. I probably wouldn't think that if I had epilepsy, though.

does anyone know the name of the site that is causing this?

It was one of the Epilepsy Foundation’s online forums, they didn't say which one

it'd be pretty cool to go on their website and check out just to see if it worked...

yeah, they deserve to be put in prison and have their lame ass hacked.

Yeh, it did work, I saw it on their site at the time, xD.

Thats just terrible. Makes me wonder what was going through those hackers heads at the time that would make them so stupid sh** like that.

They arent just any hackers.... They're hackers on STEROIDS!!!  

...And silly juice.

most likely it was just done for the lulz...does anyone remember when a pokemon video game did this to a bunch of kids in japan?

Pffft, I doubt it.

It was probably someone who can actually hack.

People think /b/ is behind everything, but they are certainly not the internet terrorists they make themselves out to be.

That is so inhuman. I think some time in prison will fix that rotten attitude.

This just disgusts me , I would like to smack the stupid out of the people responsible for this . Our 8 yr
old Daughter had a grand maul seizure on her EGG due to the Flashing Lights. So I have seen it first hand
and it is scary as hell . So , to deliberately cause this to happen to someone is sick and wrong . I hope
some action is taken upon the hoodlums .

I thought it was pretty funny.

Haha, I remember that! They didn't do it for lulz though. You can find it on youtube all over the place, it really wasn't that big a deal.
