Post Anonymous Hits CIA Website
CAN THIS BE TRUE?

- Common Dreams staff

The hacktivist group Anonymous claims to have taken the CIA's website down this afternoon.

RT reported this afternoon:

At approximately 3.10 p.m. Eastern time one of twitter accounts related to the hackers' group announced "cia.gov DOWN. #UMAD?#Anonymous"

Agence France-Presse reports:

"CIA Tango down," a member of Anonymous said on @YourAnonNews, a Twitter feed used by the group. "Tango down" is an expression used by the US Special Forces when they have eliminated an enemy. [...]

A CIA spokesman had no immediate comment.

At this time, the CIA website is still unresponsive.

HERE ARE SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THIS -

Gov websites are not really set up to handle a lot of connections so it's just a matter of having hacked enough loser' s boxes and start flooding the website with requests.

Remember last year when they tried to bring down Amazon (or some such). users didn't even notice a slow down.

It makes for a good political statement but not a major achievement in hacking. I hear there's actually groups out there that have lists of hacked boxes you can use to flood servers and for a fee you can rent those boxes to do your evil deed.

Yeah. Now if he could hack into the Main Stream Media; i.e. TV, Radio, etc so that ALL Americans can know what the hell is going on-that would truly be amazing.


The "CIA world fact book" is down. - Amazing...

I like that "httpS" - and still it's down. Clever work, lads.

Anonymous - 99 % : 1-0 - in this round...



Still laughing! Yippie! - There's hope again!

Hope this disturbs their black ops no end.
