Anonymous has sure been quiet lately, but today's federal bust of Megaupload
riled 'em up good: a retaliatory strike against DoJ.gov has left it
completely dead.
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
attack—and easily the widest in scope 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 animosity—they've been a vocal
opponent of the bill since its inception—combined 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. In Anon's eyes, the government and media interests are
responsible for the undue destruction of Megaupload (and the arrest of four
of its operators), so it'll be exactly those entities that're feeling the
pain right now. Pretty much every company that makes movies, TV, or music,
along with the entirety of the federal government, is in Anonymous'
crosshairs.
Update: Anonymous says they've also knocked off the RIAA's site—looks down
for us at the moment as well.
Update 2: Universal Music Group has also fallen off an e-cliff.
Update 3: Goodbye for now, MPAA.org.
Update 4: Affected sites are bouncing in and out of life, and are at the
very least super slow to load. Anon agents are currently trying to
coordinate their DDoS attacks in the same direction via IRC.
Update 5: The US Copyright Office joins the list.
Update 6: This Anon sums up the mood in their "official" chat room at the
moment:
Danzu: STOP EVERYTHING, who are we DoSing right now?
Update 7: Russian news service RT claims this is the largest coordinated
attack in Anonymous' history—over 5,600 DDoS zealots blasting at once.
Update 8: the Anonymous DDoS planning committee is chittering so quickly, it
's making my laptop fan spin. |
