Anonymous Hacker Group Attacks Egyptian Government Sites

Anonymous Hacker Group Attacks Egyptian Government Sites: "NEW YORK — Hacker activists started attacking Egyptian government websites on Wednesday, apparently taking them offline soon after the country restored Internet service.

An Internet forum run by a loose international group that calls itself 'Anonymous' directed participants to attack the websites of the Egyptian Ministry of Information and the ruling National Democratic Party. Neither was accessible from New York on Wednesday afternoon.

In a Twitter post, the group claimed credit for taking down the ministry's website and said the group was motivated by a desire to support Egyptian protesters."

  1. I guess what goes around comes around. The question is now, what will the Egyptian government do about this? It's their fault first of all for completing shutting down the internet in Egypt.
