And some instantly said they'd leave LJ (with a flounce of course, otherwise their entire sojourn on LJ would've been wasted, no?) As if other blogging sites aren't under the same threat as LJ is. In fact Twitter was also attacked. When those get attacked, where would you go?
It has become evident that the purpose of this attack is to disperse the now consolidated and concentrated Russian dissidents who are using LJ, and make them spread into other domains, where they could be taken separately and dealt with more easily. If anything, that's fascinating to watch unfolding.
I'm expecting this cat and mouse game between the LJ staff and the hackers to continue.
