The official website of the CIA, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, has not been available for several hours Wednesday, June 15 evening. Hackers grouped under the name of Lulz Security (LulzSec) announced that they launched an attack against the site. Within minutes of the claim, posted on Twitter about midnight, access to the site was broken.
Later that evening, the connections were sporadic, before gradually returning to normal Thursday morning. According to preliminary information, the site seems to have been the victim of an attack called "denial of service", which consists of connections to saturate an Internet site to block access.
