Chicago Police Department Website Under Attack From AntiS3curityOPS (#Anonymous)
A hackers collective group named "AntiS3curityOPS" associated with hacktivist Anonymous claims to have taken down Chicago's police department website. As of about 11:10 a.m., the Chicago Police Department website, cityofchicago.org/police, was down along with Chicago's city website, cityofchicago.org . The sites were back up just before 1 p.m. Chicago Police News Affairs said they weren't aware the sites weren't working as usual, but Supt. Garry McCarthy confirmed to reporters at noon the sites were indeed down. Chicago's Office of Emergency Management site, hosted on the city of Chicago site, also would not load and shortly after also went down. Officials say they continue to investigate.
In the video statement posted online, the group AntiS3curityOPS claimed they are "actively engaged in actions against the Chicago Police Department." Earlier we have seen similar attack when Anon members targeted websites of several Police organizations like Salt Lake City Police Dept, Los Angeles Police Department, International Association of Chief of Police & so on.
