Delivering on their promise earlier in the week to wage war on the world’s governments and banks, LulzSec Brazil—the hacker group's Brazilian branch, obviously—took down the sites for the South American country's federal government, as well as current president Dilma Rousseff. Impressively, more than 36 hours after the attacks, both sites seem to still be down.

Railing against censorship and government misuse of personal information, the group has teamed up with fellow hackers Anonymous for Operation Anti-Security. And after announcing that it had the entire UK’s 2011 census in its possession, they hinted at a another leak for tomorrow in a tweet yesterday.
