Anonymous briefly deletes CBS.com from the Internet
In a rampage following the U.S. government’s takedown of file-sharing site MegaUpload, the hacktivist group Anonymous not only knocked the CBS.com website offline on Sunday, but deleted all its files.
As described by Gizmodo, “The CBS takedown wasn’t your regular DDoS attack because if you went to CBS.com at the time Anon attacked it, there was nothing except an index page with a single file. That’s it. Basically, Anonymous gained access to CBS.com and deleted EVERYTHING.”
This followed a series of distributed denial-of-service attacks on Thursday, during which Anonymous took credit for bringing down the websites of the Department of Justice, Universal Music, the Recording Industry Association of America, and the Motion Picture Association of America.
The CBS site was soon restoried, but other targets on Sunday included Universal Music (for a second time), the French media company Vivendi, and a number of Brazilian sites.

well, besides that I have no fucking idea exactly WHO it is ...
is that in its "take downs" of nefarious sites as retaliation for their admittedly
evil deeds, Anon is doing the exact same thing that BIG gov't and BIG Corporations
are LUSTING to do to us i.e. "take down" sites that "offend" the 1%'s sensibilities,
w/ SOPA et. al.
That is all.
