Hackers have claimed shortcoming for creation the CIA website unapproachable on Friday - the ultimate assault on a US sovereign agency.
A Twitter post on a feed used by hackers' combined Anonymous mentioned "CIA Tango down", a word used by the US Special Forces after murdering an enemy.
Anonymous mentioned in other twitter that only since it reported a hack, that did not meant it carried out the attack.
This would not be the initial time the CIA website has been put offline.
In June 2011, a organisation dependent with Anonymous, Lulz Security, at the moment brought down the agency's homepage.
The CIA site remained offline on Friday dusk after a few hours, and a mouthpiece mentioned the agency was seeking in to the reports.
Hackers often aim such websites by a denial-of-service attack, that involves bombarding the site with traffic until its servers are overwhelmed.
There is no idea that the safety of the CIA's real P.C. systems have been compromised.
Earlier this month, Anonymous managed to obstruct a discussion call between the FBI and British military as they discussed authorised action against hackers.
And subsequent to the shutdown of the Megaupload file-sharing website final month, a matter attributed to Anonymous claimed shortcoming for shutting down the websites of the Department of Justice and FBI, amid others.
