Maybe that's the plan all along?
Maybe it's really the government posing as script kiddies?
Maybe it's a case of problem, reaction, solution?
False-flag in the sense that it may be a covert government operation to own the web... the media will preach hysteria - identity theft, credit card fraud etc, etc.

Like I said, I doubt it because this is a legitimate issue in the computer security world. If it was a false flag to create panic / promote their cause they could have just taken down any major site like facebook / myspace and called themselves whatever they wanted (including Anonymous).

For the sake of clarity, a few people here are not understanding the terms (i.e. the last few posts).
A script kiddie is not a hacker with skills - it's someone who copy and pastes widely published exploits to cause trouble. By not publishing exploit information in a full disclosure it makes it harder for people with not enough knowledge to write their own hacks (script kiddies).
Just thought I'd clear that up.
Script Kiddies

Wow wow ... easy on the hyperbole there bm.
First of all they didn't hurt anyone, they even went out of their way to preserve the images they temporarily replaced with their own. Quite frankly that seems more difficult and considerate thing to do than partially or wholly erasing the database.

Pretty much the equivalent of a protest that slows down traffic a bit on the road, so let's not go nuts and call these folks terrorists shall we? Lest we help the ptb label any of us 'terrorists' because we choose to do a little more than type on a forum or yap it up at the bar.
