For those who didn't know, AnonOps.net is a primary gathering place for members of Anonymous to discuss their plans for cyber-terrorism. The website, however, is open to outsiders for viewing and participation due to the fact that all posts and comments are done anonymously.
As of Thursday evening, April 28, 2011, AnonOps.net was shut down, leaving visitors with the message, "This domain is down for maintenance."
Speculation began among members of Anonymous that the site had been seized by the FBI. Others tried to diffuse the situation by claiming that the interruption of service was the result of "a prank". However, rumor also has it that small anti-Anonymous operations are quietly materializing across the world. While I cannot reveal any details, there had been an anti-Anonymous attack planned for the same date that AnonOps.net went down. Currently, there is no evidence to prove the two are connected.
