Members from the notorious
hacktivist collective “Anonymous Operations” have reportedly claimed responsibility for hacking two more government websites following
the takedown of the Central Intelligence Agency’s website last week. The
Associated Press
on Friday reported that Anonymous had breached the United States
Federal Trade Commission’s consumer protection business center website
as well as a National Consumer Protection Week website. Both sites were
temporarily replaced by a “violent German-language video” focused on
the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. ACTA, which has been signed by a
number of countries including the U.S. and Canada, aims to put forth
international legal guidelines for fighting piracy. Neither affected
agency has confirmed the attacks, but both the FTC business center
website and the National Consumer Protection Week website were offline
at the time of this writing.
