Update, 14:58 GMT: 4Chan is now accessible, but it's incredibly slow. It seems that the DDoS is continuing.
Imageboard 4Chan has been down by a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack - and some fingers are pointing at the hacking group Lulzsec. The Anons, it seems, are getting a taste of their own medicine.
The announcement came from the official 4Chan twitter, with it also pointing users towards the status page to provide updates on the attack.
Anonymous (used as a mass noun) is an international hacking group, spread through the Internet, initiating active civil disobedience, while attempting to maintain anonymity. Originating in 2003 on the imageboard 4chan, the term refers to the concept of many online community users simultaneously existing as an anarchic, chaotic, global brain.[2] It is also generally considered to be a blanket term for members of certain Internet subcultures, a way to refer to the actions of people in an environment where their actual identities are not known.[3]
