Hacker collective Anonymous has hacked the Department of Justice and Universal Music?s websites to protest the government?s decision to shut down the popular Megaupload file-sharing site.
The Department of Justice?s website has been intermittently down and up in the past hour, and we can only imagine hackers and government agents fighting for control like a scene out of a movie. Universal Music?s homepage has been down for the past hour as well.
The DOJ indictment against Megaupload alleges that it is connected to a vast criminal enterprise has caused more than $500 million in harm to copyright owners, while generating more than $175 million in proceeds. Four people, including Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom, were arrested earlier today in New Zealand, while three others are unaccounted for.
Anonymous has a history of attacking government and business websites. Recently Anonymous made headlines for hacking into Stratfor?s website and database, stealing credit card information and other sensitive details. Anonymous was also angry earlier this week about SOPA legislation in Congress, and targeted media executives like Sumner Redstone, head of Viacom.
In response to the Megaupload case, the Anonymous Twitter @YourAnonNews account wrote: ?The government takes down #Megaupload? 15 minutes later #Anonymous takes down government & record label sites. #ExpectUs.?
Update: It appears Anonymous is also attempting to bring down the RIAA, MPAA and even the White House?s websites in response to the Megaupload case. The @AnonOps Twitter account has posted several tweets in the past hour with the hashtags #OpPayback and #OpMegaupload
We?ve seen RIAA and MPAA websites intermittently not load, but we have not seen whitehouse.gov taken down as of yet.

It amazes me how hackers are able to do this stuff. How they do it is totally beyond my comprehension.

RT, Aljazeera, MSNBC twitter was blowing up about it last night, and some sources such as Wired and Gizmodo.

As someone who has been lurking anon forums and boards for years i call bullshit on that one.
It is totally decentralized, the "message from anonymous" videos are made my individuals and in no way represent the views, or even intentions of anonymous, which is essentially a Hacker/DDOS collective.

oh i know, but i have seen some of the posts from the 'anon people' and a few of them said 'we are the 99%' ect... that was probably just that one ''members'' mindset.

I actually find it somewhat comforting to know there's people with strong enough beliefs to do something like taking on the "justice" dept.

Just a tip Reaver, there are some smart ass shot gunners with rifled tubes that might send a 1 oz+ surprise at 200+ and god help you if they catch you indoors with buck in that rifled bitch.
