Vatican Website brought down by ANONYMOUS


Well, well, well, Anonymous is at it again!  In case you haven't heard of Anonymous or were wondering who or what Anonymous is, lets look at the Wikipedia answer to this question.  According to Wikipedia, Anonymous is:  (used as a mass noun) is an Internet meme that originated in 2003 on the image board 4chan, representing the concept of many online and offline community users simultaneously existing as an anarchic, digitized 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]

Well, the title of my little article is pretty self explanatory in that this group of people, whoever they are, have taken down the Vatican's website.  Instead of telling the story or giving any details myself, I'll just refer you to the link below to The Digg News site and blog.
