A DDoS attack is a common method for taking down a server by overloading it with requests.

Amped Attacks takes down a website and tweets announcing it to the world.

He/she uses the hashtag #tangodown in the tweets to announce the downing of website.

This a hashtag commonly used by the online hacktivist group, Anonymous.

However, other than #tangodown, there doesnt seem to any connection between the hacker and Anonymous.

Also, no major Anonymous Twitter account has sanctioned or endorsed Amped Attacks exploits.
