American government and entertainment industry websites have been crippled after the “hacktivist” group Anonymous launched a series of cyber attacks in retaliation for the closure of Megaupload.com.
The Twitter account @AnonymousIRC, one the most prominent of dozens associated with the “leaderless” group, taunted authorities.
“We sincerely hope you like your own medicine!,” it said in a comment directed at the FBI.
