The hacker group Anonymous has attacked numerous government run websites like the FBI's. These attacks were coordinated as retaliation to the U.S. Governments decision to shutdown the MegaUpload website. The owners of this site were also indicted yesterday on charges that allege they were running a file-sharing system. Chats that were released by the government yesterday showed Anonymous group members celebrating the brief shutdown of the FBI, DOJ, and MPAA websites. While the websites were only downed for a short amount of time, the government does say that Anonymous still poses a serious threat to Internet users worldwide. Officials also said that this was most likely in response to another problem the hacker group has, the infamous SOPA and PIPA bills.
