Anonymous Threatened to Target British Surveillance agency GCHQ

Anonymous Threatened to Target  British Surveillance agency GCHQ

Few weeks ago Anonymous performed massive denial of service attack to bring down British Prime Minister’s Office, Home Office & Ministry of Justice. In that attack they have declared that such scenario will be repeated on every Saturday. Here again hacker collective Anonymous threatened to continue cyber attacks on government websites again this weekend, this time they are specially focusing in on British surveillance agency GCHQ. A member of the group made a statement via Twitter (@Anon_central). The planned assault come after a recent spate of DoS attacks on UK government websites over the past few weekends. The attacks are part of the group’s “Operation Trial At Home”, which is protesting against the UK government’s extradition treaties with the US, which it sees as unfair.
“#Anonymous #OpTrialAtHome Plan #DDoS on GCHQ on Saturday 21st April at 8pm BST & 3pm EDT,”Anonymous said in a tweet. “@AnonAteam is asking all Anons to fire lazers at http://ghcq.gov.uk.” It said it supports three British citizens involved in extradition to the US: Gary McKinnon, wanted for seven counts of hacking NASA and Pentagon computers; Richard O’Dwyer, alleged to have infringed copyright in the US and Christopher Tappin, wanted in the US for alleged arm dealing.
