Is Government Going To Shutdown All underground Hacking Forums ?

A notice on underground cybercrime forum r00t-y0u.org on Thursday suggested the site had become part of a law enforcement sting operation. However hacker hijinks and mischief making seem equally likely explanations for the incident, at the time of writing.
r00t-y0u.org's home page has been replaced by an jpg image notice stating that the previous cybercrime activity on the site has been logged and will be passed on to appropriate law enforcement agencies. It's unclear who posted the advisory, which was spotted by security researcher Mikko Hypponen of F-Secure, or even whether it is genuine.
No law enforcement agency is identified on the notice.
Roots you, sir.
