Did Anonymous Take Down CIA.gov? 125
jfruh writes "The CIA's website has been down intermittently since Friday, apparently the victim of a DDOS attack.

Perhaps this is obvious, but it seems that an anarchic, leaderless grouping can be hard to keep tabs on."

It's like assuming that every Anonymous Coward is the same person.
As the Anonymous Coward, I am fully qualified to say that I am, indeed, the same person.
