AyakaMods, a portal known for publishing adult mods for games, recently claimed that it was under coordinated attack by the feminist organization Collective Shout. According to the site's management, the group's activists flooded anti-virus software and traffic anonymization services with complaints in an attempt to get them to flag the site as unsafe and block it.
Feminist group Collective Shout has previously been known for influencing large payment systems such as Visa and MasterCard, by pressuring platforms such as Steam to restrict content it deems unacceptable. AyakaMods stated that the platform does not delete adult content Mods in principle, but it has recently encountered a series of attacks. According to the site's management, the attackers, whom they identified as Collective Shout supporters, created a large number of accounts, left negative comments, marked the content as malicious, and triggered responses from automated security systems. The website believes that its purpose is to allow various services to mark the resource as unsafe - this goal has been partially achieved, and traffic anonymization services and some anti-virus software have begun to display warning messages.
As of now, Collective Shout has not publicly responded to the accusation.
