Anonymous new social networking site, Anon+, defaced

Anonymous, the hacking group that saw some of its alleged members arrested Tuesday, had another blow to deal with Wednesday, albeit a lesser one: Its own social network page was hacked and defaced.

The group had announced earlier this week that it was just starting AnonPlus after its "Your Anon News" account was rejected by Google's new social network, Google+, for violating the site's standards.

Not much had been posted yet. But the AnonPlus Web link now redirects to AnonSource Technlologies, where comments were shared Wednesday about the hack, which made fun of Anonymous' logo and slogans. Escapist shared some of the visual damage on its website. With the arrests of 16 people from several states, as well as arrests by the UK's Metropolitan Police Service and the Dutch National Police Agency, the loose collective of Anonymous hackers is under pressure, to say the least.
