Hacker group Anonymous fights back, in support of #MegaUpload

Is this really happening? After hearing about the MegaUpload shut down, the hacker or ‘hactivist’ group Anonymous is already taking a stance on the situation, and fighting back. They have already taken down Justice.gov and UniversalMusic.com and shot off a tweet saying:


As of this writing, both sites are down, see screen shots below. One can only assume that they will be or are already targeting other sites to take down in regards to this MegaUpload piracy issue. More to come I am sure.

UPDATE 1: Anon is going hard. They just took down riaa.org!
UPDATE 2: MPAA.org is down as well!
