Hackers seek to ‘avenge’ WikiLeaks
An anonymous group of internet activists appear to have launched a series of cyber attacks to shut down the websites of Mastercard, a Swiss bank and the Swedish prosecutor's office in an apparent retaliation for action taken against WikiLeaks. A group calling itself "Anonymous" or "Anonymous Operations" said on its homepage on Wednesday that Mastercard.com was its "current target", after the credit card company stopped its payment services to the whisteblowing website.
