wikan 0 Posted December 12, 2001 I think the warez scene got hit pretty hard during this operation, at least 3 groups died.. DoD, Razor1911 iSO (my favourite, check out http://www.razor1911.com) and RiSCiSo one more funny thing http://www.internettrafficreport.com/#graphs the traffic has never been that low for the last 30 days as it was when they did the operation.
