Thought I'd share as it's not on the main news sites yet.

It would seem, that in revenge for the US government shutting down filesharing site Megaupload today and arresting people involved with it for online piracy, hacker groups like Anonymous and Lulz Sec are going on a hacking spree tonight.

So far they've taken down websites like:

The FBI
US Dept of Justice
Utah Chiefs Of Police Association
RIAA - Recording Industry Association of America
Warner Music Group

This is massive! As it's early in America I imagine they're just warming up?
If you want to follow it, see twitter!

Personally I'm off to bed soon as I'm shattered, but I wonder what the response will be. I really can't imagine the US authorities will take kindly to it?!!
