Operation Globo, the op launched by Anonymous hackers and their supporters to fight the censorship imposed by Brazilian TV network Globo and its affiliates, continues.

The attack schedule made public by hackers reveals that there are 9 new targets, most of which connected to Som Livre, a Brazilian record company owned by Globo.

Yesterday, on April 4, the hacktivists launched distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks against the main site of Som Livre (somlivre.com), that lasted for around 8 hours.

The site Som Livre Shop (somlivreshop.com), and other affiliated websites such as escute.com, caldeiraohiphop.com, kellykeypassaporte.com, rge.com, musiq.com, and stagerio.com were also attacked, each for a period of 4 hours.

For April 5, the hackers have planned a 3-hour attack on globoir.globo.com.

At press time, some of the sites were still down, while others appeared to be functioning properly.
