Well whatever this is about needs to be Streisanded. Find out who is responsible and why, and then make it a household name.

An anonymous gang calling itself SN_Blackmeta, which seems to be against US and Israeli interests and writes in English, Russian, and Arabic, has claimed responsibility for the DDoS attacks for reasons unknown. We'll take it with a grain of salt, and have put it to the Internet Archive for comment.

Many people have brought attention to the fact that SN_Blackmeta twitter group is very new and they don't speak most languages particularly well, leading to the conclusion that maybe they're just kids trying to take credit for it.
