I was under the impression that these kinds of kids and hackers DDoS-ing sites for fun or activism were virtually all socially liberal, so attacks on government and military websites make sense to me.

But I'm truly surprised to see anti-racism sites suffering from these attacks.

Is there really a racist contingent of hackers out there? I just never thought of the two going together.

Or is this more likely to be more Russian hacking efforts continuing to do their best to sow division, according to Putin's well-known playbook?
