Yesterday, Anonymous Dropped DoJ, RIAA, MPAA and More Offline.

Anonymous was a little  bit cheesed about the U.S. Justice Department taking down popular website Megaupload.com the day after the internet went somewhere near dark to protest SOPA. In response they dropped the hammer on a considerable amount of impressively high-target websites.

Anonymous Press Release:
  1. January 19th, 2012
  2. Popular file-sharing website megaupload.com gets shutdown by U.S Justice – FBI and charged its founder with violating piracy laws. Four Megaupload members were also arrested. The FBI released a press release on its website which you can view here:
