Mere hours after its biggest release to date, the hacktivist collective crashed theofficial website of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Just before 4 p.m. EST yesterday afternoon (Friday), DHS.gov was taken offline. Members of the group immediately took credit for the attack.
Within minutes, the website came back up.
That wasn’t the only mischief Anonymous cooked up yesterday. Earlier in the day, Anonymous released the audio of a conference call between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Britain’s Scotland Yard in which both organizations talk about Anonymous. The call was conducted last month and the FBI has confirmed its authenticity.
As if that wasn’t enough, the group also hacked the website for the law firm representing Sgt. Frank Wuterich, a U.S. Marine who was recently put on trial for a massacring innocent Iraqi civilians in Haditha in 2005. Despite admitting his guilt in the matter and asking his fellow Marines to “shoot first, ask later,” Wuterich got no jail time.
You can listen to the hacked FBI call below.
