It is a pity that the next Lulz Security attack on the servers of US government organizations became known only at night. If in the evening, it would be possible to headline somehow like "Lulz Security evenings on Habré". In general, if the case, then this group reported in its
microblog that the site of the CIA and the US Senate was attacked (again). Hackers did not try to hack the server responsible for the work of the CIA site, but carried out a DDoS attack, as a result of which the site “fell” for some time (this is confirmed by network security experts).
As far as can be judged by the CIA site, problems are still going on, it is slowly opening, but slowly, and so far only by https (maybe it should work only on https?). As you can see, the LulzSec group continues to “catch the lulz”, and to prove to everyone that the protection of the Internet resources of public and private organizations and companies is not very good, despite tens and hundreds of millions of funds.

Just yesterday, this group reported on the attack servers EVE Online, Minecraft, and the site of The Escapist Magazine. The attack was successful, for some time these servers "lay down", which was already
reported on Habré .
Interestingly, experts from the network security department who deal with relevant issues regarding the US Senate site reported that they were able to protect important documents. Protection lies in the fact that the documents were simply removed from the servers. Good way, nothing to say.
