Hacker collectives Anonymous and Colombian Hackers on Tuesday shut down the websites of Colombia’s president, the interior and justice ministry, the intelligence service DAS and the governing U party.
According to short statements published on the hackers’ Twitter page, the hacker attack was meant as a protest against government censorship.
The DoS attack on the government websites, dubbed “Operation Defense” started at 10AM in the morning and lasted until after 7.
On the website of the U Party, the hackers posted a fake biography of President Juan Manuel Santos in which the hackers talk about the break-in of the President’s facebook page carried out on July 20, Colombia’s Independence Day.
