The Lulz Security hacker group tweeted Wednesday evening that it launched an attack on the CIA's public website, www.cia.gov.

The website was disrupted for several minutes, right after their tweet.

The attack comes in the midst of an ongoing hacking war between LulzSec and the Anonymous members of 4chan.
