Anonymous says it hacked LAPD website but police deny it

The Los Angeles Police Department is denying claims by online hacker group Anonymous that it had attacked and brought down the department’s website. “Anonymous Operation USA | Target: DOWN | http://www.LAPDonline.org  | #Anonymous #OpUSA #FTP #Revolution,” the group tweeted.

But LAPD Sgt. Frank Preciado was quick to refute the group’s claims. “No they didn’t,” he told the Los Angeles Times.
