Anonymous Attacks: DoJ, RIAA, MPAA, FBI and Universal Music All Offline
Anonymous looks to be busy tonight as they don’t appear to be happy with the Federal Governments bust of Megaupload. It appears they are behind the coordinated retaliatory strikes against DoJ.gov, Universal Music Group, MPAA.org, US Copyright Office, record label BMI, FBI.gov and more. Russian news service RT claims this is the largest coordinated attack in Anonymous’ history with over 5,635 DDoS zealots blasting at once. MPAA appears to already be back up and running though… Talk about an interesting night!
DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com is reporting the department’s site as universally nuked, and an Anonymous-affiliated Twitter account is boasting success. This is almost certainly the result of a quickly-assembled DDoS attackand easily the widest in scope and ferocity we’ve seen in some time. If you had any doubts Anonymous is still a hacker wrecking ball, doubt no more. The combination of the hacking nebula’s SOPA animositythey’ve been a vocal opponent of the bill since its inceptioncombined with today’s sudden Megaupload news has made the group bubble over: hundreds upon hundreds of Anon operatives are in a plotting frenzy, chatting about which site will go down next.
