WikiLeaks: hackers 'crash Mastercard site with cyber attack'
Hackers today claimed to have crashed the MasterCard website in revenge for the firm suspending services to whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks. Anonymous, understood to be a loose-knit group of internet activists, tweeted: "We are glad to tell you that mastercard.com is down and it's confirmed." Another message read: "There are some things WikiLeaks can't do. For everything else, there's Operation Payback." Mastercard was not immediately available to comment but repeated attempts to load the site met without success. Posted by: tipper 2010-12-08 |
