Simmons was the group?s first victim this week, a response to comments that the rock star made recently during a panel discussion at MIPCOM 2010 . ?Make sure your brand is protected,? Simmons warned his creative peers regarding peer-to-peer file sharing. ?Make sure there are no incursions. Be litigious. Sue everybody. Take their homes, their cars. Don?t let anybody cross that line.?
Those words were enough for Anonymous to launch a DDoS attack on GeneSimmons.com, which in turn also affected SimmonsRecords.com. Both sites experienced a significant amount of downtime as a result of the attack.
