Classy folks. Protesting 'censorship' by stealing credit card information from innocent bystanders.

For those who may still be confused: Those are *not* the actions of Wikileaks. Those "hacktivists", whoever they may be, are actually doing more damage to the Wikileaks project than they do to MasterCard et al. With "friends" like that, who needs enemies?

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the people attacking MasterCard et al were the same people who previously attacked the Wikileaks sites directly. When you can't put them offline physically, just destroy their reputation instead, by connecting them with criminal activities in the public opinion. But of course that is plain speculation from my side, your mileage may vary...
