> The action against Megaupload took place just hours after the mass online Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) protest. Shortly afterwards, the the US Department of Justice's website and a number of other organizations' websites were taken offline following concerted attacks from activist group Anonymous.
> The site was shut down by the U.S. Justice Department on January 19, 2012, during an investigation into alleged copyright infringement, leading to what activist group Anonymous calls "the single largest Internet attack in its history".
Could this eventually lead to a cyber war between the United States Justice Department and activist group Anonymous?

It doesn't have to be by Anonymous or Reddit, does it?
Couldn't this really spark a cyber war?
I remember when there was fear of China attacking the US via cyberspace.

But they do, on a regular basis.
Well, they're ''accused' on a regular basis.

They took down Justive.gov and a few other sites for a couple hours. Which does nothing except give ammunition to those who support SOPA-style legislation. Convincing anyone Megaupload is a legitimate site when its "supporters" do things like this is now going to be a lot harder.Anonymous E replied with this 14 years ago, 3 minutes later, 1 hour after the original post[^] [v] #283,097
