Hackers Attack Epilepsy Forum; Cause Headaches, Seizures
I have a colleague with epilepsy, and he told me today about an attack last weekend on the user forums of the Epilepsy Foundation of America (EFA), "the national voluntary agency solely dedicated to the welfare of the more than 3 million people with epilepsy in the U.S. and their families."
Apparently hackers went into the forums and laced messages with first animated GIF images, and then Javascript in an attempt to trigger seizures in users. And people wonder why I have doubts about the future of the human race.

MAN! I'm terrible. Even though that is a rotten thing to do to people with Epilepsy, I couldn't help but laugh when I read the article.
