Is someone pissed off at Spamhaus, or was the intention to packet them so

DROP/RBL/xyz service?

Seldom do hax0r nations target things without some type of
"justification". I don't really care who is being internet murdered, I
care why. 

It's probably the same people who have been posting news articles from
