AnonymousIRC has taken Zeiko out of the picture for launching DDOS attacks

It appears that the actions of Zeiko Anonymous, the hacker responsible for taking down numerous BitTorrent websites with the aid of distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks, haven’t gone unnoticed. The hacktivists behind AnonymousIRC have taken over his Twitter account.

“ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HACKED BY (@AnonymousIRC). Never pretend to be who you are not. We never forgive, We never forget, Expect us,” reads a message posted on Zeiko Anonymous’ Twitter account.

The account appears to have been hijacked on November 17 and there hasn’t been any activity on it since.

Zeiko is responsible for taking down websites such as What.cd, The Pirate Bay, isoHunt, BitSnoop, Fenopy, IPTorrents, PassThePopcorn.me, Broadcasthe.net, HDBits, and others.

After he launched the attacks, many Anonymous hackers have threatened him. It appears that their threats have materialized.
