> [Taking a shorter break](http://gizmodo.com/5877679/anonymous-kills-department-of-justice-site-in-megaupload-revenge-strike?tag=anonymous) than their last vacation, Anonymous is back at it already. Reports are coming in that they had completely knocked out [CBS.com](http://CBS.com) and are continuing their revenge spree. The CBS takedown wasn’t your regular DDoS attack because if you went to [CBS.com](http://CBS.com) at the time Anon attacked it, there was nothing except an index page with a single file. _That’s it_. Basically, Anonymous gained access to [CBS.com](http://CBS.com) and deleted EVERYTHING.
> [CBS.com](http://CBS.com) has managed to put itself back up but we’ll be on the lookout of Anonymous’ next move. This is going to be interesting. Last time Anon went on a revenge spree, well, the DOJ, RIAA, MPAA, Universal, EMI, FBI and others all got a piece of the takedown fun.
>
> **Update:** Looks like they just took down [UniversalMusic.com](http://UniversalMusic.com) again too!
>
> **Update 2:** Anon is now going after websites in Brazil. [The Hacker News](http://thehackernews.com/2012/01/brazil-under-anonymous-attack-tangara.html) reports that websites of Brazil’s federal district, the city of Tangara da Serra and popular Brazilian singer Paula Fernandes have been brought offline in a DDoS attack. Anonymous’ message on the affected websites? “If Megaupload is down, you are down too.”
>
> **Update 3:** Vivendi, a French media company involved in music, film, TV, video games, etc., has been brought down too. Vivendi used to own Universal
Epic :rofl

What a bunch of idiots, what started out as something that had potential to be great, got fucked when they started causing collateral damage, and not giving a fuck. Passing off DDOS attacks as anything great is dumb. Deleteing [CBS.com](http://CBS.com) is the first thing I’ve seen happen that wasnt comprised of a bunch of retards directing a lot of unknowing people to a “chat” link which included them in the DDOS attacks.
I’d love Anon to do something great, I think they have to potential too, but right now they are nothing more than an annoying mosquito bite in the ass to these corporations/agencies.

They took down FBI,DOJ and a few others for litterally about 60 seconds. I was watching the live twitter feeds, they reported it down, it was down, they kept reporting it down but not even 2 minutes later they were back up no problem.
Sure these places are taking notice, but its really nothing more then a slight inconvenience, it was probably a relief for their IT staff as they actually got to do something for what they were getting paid for.
SOPA/PIPA being denied had to do more with big internet companies petitioning, people voicing their disgust, and the fact that they were naive enough to think someone wouldn’t notice how intrusive that bill was. Anon had nothign to do with its failure to pass
Like I said, I at one point supported anon, and still think it has potential to do some good, but at this point it seems to be nothing more then a buncha pissed off script kiddies
