Did @Lulzsec really take cia.gov down? Poking the tiger? No! More like kicking the tiger in the balls? http://tinyurl.com/3spmbcp

Tango down - cia.gov - for the lulz.

Woah: Lulz Security Just Took Down the CIA

Brian Barrett — Lulzsec, that merry band of hackers responsible for raids on Bethesda Softworks, the US Senate, Sony, terrorists, and rival hackers, has bagged maybe its biggest fish yet: the CIA.
Lulz Security announced via Twitter that they'd taken down CIA.gov (which is, for the record, still incapacitated) a little before 6PM EST. No details about their methodology (presumably DDOS?), or the motive behind/beyond the lulz. Which, really, who needs more reason than that to take on the intelligence wing of the US government?
At the rate Lulz is going, their conquests will be Napoleonic before the summer's out. And at this point, it's hard to see how they'll be stopped, short of a land war in Russia. [LulzSec]
