RIAA, Universal Music, BMI, DOJ Websites Down and Hacked

Anonymous operative Barrett Brown told British website RT on Thursday afternoon that they have hacked websites of the Department of Justice, the RIAA, BMI, Universal Music Group and others in retaliation for U.S. prosecutors who have shut down the file-sharing site Megaupload and arresting its leaders.

Here are some of the tweets from AnonOps:

“One thing is certain: EXPECT US! #Megaupload”

“Tango down! http://universalmusic.com & http://www.justice.gov// #Megaupload”

And another tweet related to SOPA:

“Let’s just say, for #SOPA supporters their #SOPAblackout is today. #Anonymous.”
