Things are apparently getting nasty in the ongoing Scrabble-Scrabulous Facebook fight. Hasbro sent out a lawsuit against the creators of Scrabulous last week, stating that the popular Facebook game application was a copyright infringement on their own Scrabble game. In response, Facebook announced it was taking down the Scrabulous app from its social networking site.

However on Tuesday hackers decided to attack Hasbro's recently launched Scrabble Facebook app (developed by Electronic Arts) and as a result that game had to be taken down as well. Our sister site Game Daily reports that EA hopes to "resolve this issue and have Scrabble back online and ready to play as soon as possible."
