Any change in behaviour is often an indication of illness or injury in your rabbit. Bring your rabbit to the "rabbit-savvy" vet for a physical exam, so that you can find out if something is wrong, and so you can treat it before it's too late (or euthanize your rabbit gently and humanely if there is nothing to be done).
If your rabbit is still young (3-5 months), then it could be hormones causing this behaviour change. Talk to your vet about having your bunny spayed or neutered.
If your rabbit is otherwise healthy, then the cause of his or her viciousness could be lifestyle. Rabbits have needs just like all animals (including people), and when these needs aren't met, behavioural problems (like aggression) typically result, because of stress and anxiety.
Lots of people don't know how to take proper care of rabbits. You may have heard very wrong information from other people who have rabbits, or breeders, books, websites, or even vets. People used to think that pet rabbits only lived 2 or 3 years, so they didn't bother figuring out how to care for them properly, and lots of people still think this way. Now we know these rabbits die so young BECAUSE they aren't being cared for! Pet rabbits live 10 years or more, and there is a lot that you need to know about how to take proper care of them.
Please take the time to learn how to care for rabbits now. They have very unique needs. As mentioned, not everyone who writes about rabbits actually knows what they're talking about, so be careful who you trust. Consider the related questions and links below. And instead of asking questions on general forums, use a rabbit-specific forum instead (like Rabbits Online), because you'll be sure to get more help.
