> FWIW, Anon did not delete [CBS.com](http://CBS.com), doesnt suprise me. What they did do is redirect the DNS so that when going to [CBS.com](http://CBS.com) you were brought to a blank web directory on another server. The site was actually back up quite quickly but it took a bit of time for the DNS cache to clear out and repopulate.

Are you surprised?

This isn’t some Matrix style Hollywood plot where hackers are taking down the government and are the good guys. It’s a bunch of young guys sitting on their laptops pestering sites as a “warning” with little to no logic or collective plan. Just an annoyance until and unless they hack their way to some black mail material (again) or get themselves a leader of sorts which doesn’t seem possible due to anon structure.
