Protesting against an article by cybersecurity "journalist" Brian Krebs, users of a big German imageboard donated - using the pun of "Krebs" as being the German word for cancer - an official 103,000 Euro to the Deutsche Krebshilfe until several hours ago. As the donations are still ongoing, the DKMS received also a lot of donations, and some donations were also made to foreign charities and other diseases' charities, the entire sum of the donations will likely remain unknown but in my estimation could be as high as 500,000 Euro.
The semi official slogan of the action:
Krebs ist scheiße >_
