Hackers of Anonymous Chile have published an adult video on the official website of Chile’s Ministry of Agriculture (minagri.gob.cl ). Besides the video, the attackers have also published links to advertise their Facebook and Twitter accounts.

The Ministry of Agriculture has rushed to remove the 17-minute video from its website. At the time of writing, the site appears to be working properly, but no statements have been made regarding the incident.

Anonymous Chile is currently running a campaign called OpIberoReborn. Over the past few days, several government and other high-profile websites have been targeted.

On their Facebook page, the hacktivists claim to have disrupted the websites of the Honduras presidency (presidencia.gob.hn), Brazil’s government portal (brasil.gov.br), the Ecuador presidency (presidencia.gob.ec), the Venezuela presidency (presidencia.gob.ve), Mexico’s senate (senado.gob.mx), and many others.

These websites appear to have been taken down with distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks.
