Cool Anonymous Shuts Down MPAA And Justice Department Websites

Computerworld - The Anonymous hacking group recruited unwitting accomplices in Thursday's attacks against U.S. government sites, a security researcher said today. The distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks began Thursday just hours after the U.S. Department of Justice announced arrests of four men associated with the popular Megaupload "cyberlocker" site on charges of copyright infringement, money laundering and racketeering. Federal authorities shuttered Megaupload.com and other sites, and seized assets belonging to the company, including hundreds of servers. Three of the seven men indicted remain at large, but four were arrested in New Zealand by local authorities and face extradition to the U.S. Almost immediately, Anonymous retaliated with DDoS attacks against Justice's website, and those operated by Universal Music, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and others. Some of those sites were inaccessible during parts of Thursday.

Yeah I wonder if Anonymous realizes they are just advancing the governments agenda and in fact taking the populace to a point where they will soon agree with the government...probably not.
