The attack, which is technically known as a distributed denial of service attack, involved thousands of phantom transactions, forcing at least three of the online platforms that store bitcoins and trade them for traditional currencies to halt withdrawals of bitcoins until they can determine which transactions were real.

What was the point in that?
I mean really, to the script kiddies behind this, what did you actually achieve from this?

Maybe to interfere with transactions and steal some? Who knows.

No.
They DDOSed a few platforms which deal with the transactions of bitcoins.
It's impossible to just DDOS "bitcoin".

Anonymous wouldn't DDOS something they use.
PayPal is an online currency.
PayPal is honestly a bigger gamble than Bitcoin.
They will limit your account and steal your money for anything they want.
