Hackers take down US military website

The US Army website Army Knowledge Online (us.army.mil) has been taken down by hackers.

The first to announce the “tangodown” were members of the DerpTrolling group. DerpTrolling is the infamous group that has caused several major game servers to go down over the past period, including Steam, Battle.net, Origin, and League of Legends.

The hackers shared via Twitter: "All Hail Gaben! https://www.us.army.mil #PraiseGaben We will show the infidels the way back to hell! Lord Cage welcomes you."

Gaben is the pseudonym of Gabe Newell, co-founder and CEO of Valve. Considering they have the power, it's highly likely that the DerpTrolling team is responsible for the downtime.
