Hacktivists with the collective Anonymous are waging an attack on the website for the White House after successfully breaking the sites for the Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, RIAA and Motion Picture Association of America.

In response to today’s federal raid on the file sharing service Megaupload, hackers with the online collective Anonymous have broken the websites for the Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, RIAA and Motion Picture Association of America.

i think this is the beginning if the cyber war,this will get ugly.

i'm also glad to see Anon step up and respond to this attack on MU,taking down MU pissed a lot of people off,people that were paying for service and legit users. i know it was used for "other" means,but what about the people who had important document's pictures ect.... they just call it a wash?

They can hack away until: a) they get caught or b) there is no internet left to hack.
What is to be gained here folks?

Whether "Anonymous" is a government front or not, these type of actions are very bad for the internet. I hope they got some info worth something while they were on they're servers. That's the only way I would trust this the slightest bit. As of yet, we have not seen any great information released by anonymous.

There is nothing about this retaliation on AnonymousMedia.org

This makes me think it could very well be a false-flag.

Does anyone know of a pastebin link where Anonymous declared retaliation? I have never seen them do anything without announcing it on pastebin.

Not what is to benefit but "who" benefits from this?

On topic.
It is funny, as someone above mentioned a kill switch.
They already have it, pull the plug outta the wall.
Of course they have the right to be secure in their cyber possessions but, it stops ay my right to mine.
So rather than making legislation on everyone, why not just make an additional duty for those who already work there.
His or her title can be, pull the plug guy.
Quite simple actually, if I ever felt like I was being hacked it is what I'd do.

Well, anonymous was formed from 4chan... if one were to say that anonymous is a government front, then sure... 4chan must also be a government owned website, which doesn't make much sense. It will always be known who does action on behalf of "the anonymous" because of the same views and the same end goal... If an "anonymous" does something against the interest of what they stand for.. it would be obvious in the case of an actual false-flag attack.

These kinds of things have been happening before the internet even went commercial previous to 1995. It's nothing new, it didn't end the internet then and it won't end the internet now. Even in the 1980's people were constantly cracking into military boxes over phone-lines and spreading worms, they even went as far to trade "boxes" in a similar fashion to trading cards.

It only seems like it's happening "more" and "more is because the media is covering almost every single hack or attack that happens, whereas prior to 2005 it hardly got reported as it seemed insignificant to the media.

PS; There has been heaps of information released by anonymous over the years. The most recent prime example being the HB Gary dump.
