Anonymous warns US government over ACTA

Hacker group Anonymous took down a number of U.S. government websites early this morning in continuing protests over ACTA, the controversial anti-counterfeiting trade agreement. It attacked the FTC's consumer protection business center and the National Consumer Protection Week websites. Here is a part of the text, displayed on these sites:

"Congratuations! You got rooted and rm'd (AGAIN). U MAD!? Don't like it?... So, how's it feel when your entire site is jack-hammered off the internet? Do tell!".

"Guess what? We're back for round 2. Well, with the doomsday clock ticking down on Internet freedom, Antisec has leapt into action. Again. Holy déjà vu hack Batman! Expect us yet?"

"If ACTA is signed by all participating negotiating countries, you can rest assured that Antisec will bring a f**ing mega-uber-awesome war that rain torrential hellfire down on all enemies of free speech, privacy and internet freedom. We will systematically knock all evil corporations and governments off of our internet."

ACTA was recently signed by several countries, but restrictions on online piracy have prompted a growing protest movement.
