LulzSec takes down CIA website

It is unclear why, but the CIA's website, CIA.gov, is currently down, compliments of LulzSec, the group which has taken down Sony multiple times over the last month.
Reads the tweet:
@LulzSec: Tango down - cia.gov - for the lulz.


Developing story...

It's all a big conspiracy...all these so called "attacks" by a phantom group,were well orchestrated just so the government can enact new "anti web terrorists" laws and infringe you liberties...don't fall for it...

I wouldn't be surprised either. The Central Intelligence Agency won't be able to call themselves intelligent anymore if a small-time group can hack them that easily. Now watch Sony charge PS3 owners to play online for "security" reasons.

Apperently, 'th3j35t3r' want to take them on now. So, who exactly is 'th3j35t3r'?

"Don't play with, cause you're playing with fire."

If you don't think for one minute the CIA or other Government agencies are going to bust these people and throw away the key, you are mistaken.

Already some of these so called superheroes have been busted looking at the rest of their lives in jail.

To avoid being somebodies prison bitch, they WILL turn states evidence so they won't be reamed the rest of their lives by Bubba.

I don't have a crystal ball but I do have a feeling the next few months will tell all.

Yeah...these hacker groups are starting to live very dangerously...but when you are called a criminal just for peaceful protests, I guess it is no big deal to start doing things that are actually illegal.

I thought anonymous group took down Sony no?

Prison? More like your body will be found in a ditch or not found at all.

Don't complain when the bullet hits the skull...

Dependent on how far these idiots go & what the CIA (or whichever of the Government's alphabet soup) have baited these morons with, "they" may have just become the bait for another very dangerous group.

That's what happens when you play "be super jizzy secret" agent & think you can piss in their pool. These organizations will let you & they'll give you all the rope you can handle to hang yourself with too. These BallSack idiots have no idea what they have just done to themselves. It really is a "by the play book" folks & BallSack just made themselves into targets they can't escape from.

Mods don't kill me, I'm not talking fish here. Prior Military... Basically, BallSack is going to have to come running to the FBI or CIA or NSA to save their asses & my guess is their going to let them hang for a while until they have enough to nab the folks they really want on the flip side. Granted, my story sounds like a drug deal style, hit the crack whore for the Colombian Czar kind of conjecture, but we'll see how this turns out.
