Anonymous Hit USTelecom & Tech America To Protest Against CISPA (#OpDefense)
As expected the protest against Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) took place. The hacker group Anonymous claimed responsibility for taking down the websites of USTelecom and Tech America while engaging massive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, which both back the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011. Both sites remained unreachable as of Monday afternoon. A member of Anonymous posted a YouTube video showing USTelecom's site down Sunday, and the site was down for about 24 hours, according to a USTelecom spokesman. The trade group discovered that the site was down at about 6 a.m. Monday, he said.
Last Friday Anonymous released a YouTube video threatening supporters of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, a bill focused on encouraging U.S. government agencies and private businesses to trade information about cyberattacks. The bill would harm the Internet, the video said. "We will unleash the worst pain on those who threaten our existence," the video added. The video declared Operation Defense (CISPA) and these two attacks ware the part of this ongoing operation. Earlier we have seen massive protest from not only hackers but also different part of the world in case of controversial SOPA, PIPA & ACTA. So again the history reveled for CISPA.
