What an embarrassment to the DOJ, and all the other government agencies they've taken down in the past. Granted, it's probably just a DoS, but it still makes them appear weak and vulnerable.

I don't really care for Anonymous but that is kinda funny the freakin' DOJ website was brought to it's knees. This is like watching an internet soap opera.

That will teach them. I bet the government will put megaupload back up in a couple of
hours.

Not.

The script kiddies kick the DOJ's ass.

That is funny.. and pathetic.

Hentaikid · 01-19-2012, 04:12 PM

Cute, but neither are internet based organizations, their websites are basically glorified online noticeboards.

Meanwhile when they go against an actual website like 9gag they can't actually bring it down at all

onwebcam · 01-19-2012, 06:59 PM

FBI.gov down now

SmutHammer · 01-19-2012, 07:03 PM

I got this from cnet:

In the aftermath of the Jan. 18 SOPA/PIPA blackout protests, the Internet community had amassed quite a bit of goodwill, flexed its muscles in a friendly, humorous, civil-disobedience kind of way, and, remarkably, even managed to change quite a few minds.

Just 24 short hours later, Anonymous legions nuked that goodwill and took cyber-security into thermonuclear territory. The real question now is: were they played?

As I write this, #OpMegaUpload is in full effect. The Internet is seemingly coming down all around me. Global Internet traffic is fluctuating between 13 and 14 percent above normal, and, as you can see from the above image, global network attacks were up 24 percent. Affected sites include the White House, the FBI, the Department of Justice, multiple record label sites, the MPAA and RIAA, and the U.S. Copyright Office.

The attacks were spawned by a large-scale indictment and the arrest of four people associated with a hosting and storage site called Megaupload, all accused of online piracy.

In a collective rage, Anonymous lashed out with the force of a cyber-nuke. The display of power is awesome--there will be a lot of high-fiving hackers tonight, that's for sure. And given the massive power of the legions, this story will get more attention in just a few hours than the SOPA/PIPA blackouts ever did. WIN!

But then the other shoe will drop.

My sources tell me the timing of the Megaupload arrests was no accident. The federal government, they say, was spoiling for a fight after the apparent defeat of SOPA/PIPA and not a little humiliation at the hands of the Web. And what better way to bolster the cause for cyber-crackdown than by pointing to a massive display of cyber-terrorism at the hands of everyone's favorite Internet boogeyman: Anonymous?

If the SOPA/PIPA protests were the Web's moment of inspiring, non-violent, hand-holding civil disobedience, #OpMegaUpload feels like the unsettling wave of car-burning hooligans that sweep in and incite the riot portion of the play. The result is always riot gear, tear gas, arrests, injury, and a sea of knee-jerk policies, laws, and reactions that address the destructive actions of a few, and not the good intentions of the many.

I don't truly know whether Anonymous was cleverly goaded into #OpMegaUpload. But I do know that an attack this big on this many government sites will effectively erase those good Internet vibrations that were rattling around Capitol Hill this week, and harden the perspective of legislators and law enforcement who want to believe that the Web community is made up of wild, law-breaking pirates. That, ultimately, may help strengthen the business--and the emotional--case for the pro-SOPA, pro-PIPA lobby. Did the feds just get the last lulz?

I doubt the government had a plan that included goading anonymous.
The writer is giving both sides too much credit on this one.
Anonymous hasn't exactly risen to the threat level of Iran.

But if there was one way to make sure the government would not back down from
megaupload then this probably did it. No way do they want to appear as if this DDOS
attack had any affect on policy except to make it stick harder.
