So... what do you think of the rapidly increasing power of hackers and "hacktivists"? They seem to be going - and successfully - for bigger and bigger targets...

Well, they took down the CIA's PR site, if they manage to take down their internal infrastructure, then I'll be impressed.

Yeah... I'm not sure what I think of the amount of potential power hackers have though; while most regular hackers seem to be alright if pretty anarchic it worries me what malicious or criminal minded hackers can be getting up to, at really quite high levels.

Lol, and I thought it was the video game related things that were getting hacked.

Hacking: the new wave.
