Apparently, they are upset about the slaughter of dolphins in the village of Taiji, Japan. Operation Killing Bay or #OpKillingBay is the protest against the slaughter.


Interesting that they apologized to Microsoft and complimented them on XBOX-One. Also "F**K the Japanese Language" seems a tad out of place and unnecessary.  I also don't think a DDoS attack is going to stop what is happening to the dolphins in Taiji. All in all, I don't really understand this attack, but I guess these guys have to keep busy somehow.
