Excerpt:
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- They promised to retaliate: Today, the world-wide hacking organization Anonymous struck a BART website.
The attack was in response to BART shutting down the cell phone network for its riders last week, and Anonymous says it won't stop with today's disruption -- it plans more havoc for tomorrow.
The group threatened to wage cyber war on BART beginning at noon on Sunday. By 12:30 p.m., the agency's main website at BART.gov was up and running as usual, but its promotional website, MyBART.org, bore the distinct markings of the hacker group.
