Anonymous does it again!

If anyone has heard of the hacker group anonymous, then you’ve probably heard they started a ruckus last year, the "OP(operation payback)" produced an international series of attacks on pro-copyright trade groups and enforcement companies like RIAA (US), BPI (UK), MPAA (US), AFACT (Australia), BREIN (Netherlands), Aiplex (India), and Websheriff (UK). One of the smaller sites actually yielded the biggest bounty; the UK "P2P settlement letter factory" ACS: Law gave up several hundred megabytes of private e-maills after being taken offline by the attack, and the firm has since collapsed.

Also in the fall of  2010, WikiLeaks came along, bursting into the media like a second sun, when it released a huge cache of US diplomatic cables. Anonymous reacted quickly.  When companies like Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal made it more difficult to donate to WikiLeaks, and they redirected Operation Payback towards payment processors.  The attacks were not wholly successful, but they did stir police in multiple countries to action. The FBI seized servers in December, then executed 40 search warrants early this year, while the UK made 5 arrests and the Dutch picked up at least one man. In all of the excitement, Operation Payback's initial goals were forgotten and the operation died out.
Well though they may have been foiled, they haven’t been broken.  This time taking down the website for Broadcast Music International (BMI). They have been talking about it in Internet Relay Chat (IRC) rooms for weeks, even releasing graphics to stir the hearts of the faithful. "Copywrong" would be vanquished by the the "legion" of Anons, though it was never quite clear what this entailed, but BMI eventually fell under the load.  They leave with the promise; “More attacks are on the way.”  Though the writer ends with “This could be a long fight” It seems like authorities are doing all they can too take them down, but we’ll see in time. Engaurd.
