Protest: Anonymous Attacks Indian Congress and Supreme Court Sites

Official Anonymous channels reveal that the site of India’s Supreme Court (supremecourtofindia.nic.in) and the one of the country’s All India Congress Committee (aicc.org.in) are being attacked, apparently as a form of protest against the instatement of website blockades.

Indian Internet service providers (ISP) have started timidly with torrent sites, Vimeo and Pastebin, but now they’ve extended the blockades to DailyMotion, and even Xmarks, a harmless bookmark sync service.

A few days ago we reported that hackers were already probing ISPs in search for vulnerabilities, trying to unmask their weaknesses, but now everything seems to have escalated.

“Namaste #India, your time has come to trash the current government and install a new one. Good luck,” Anonymous hacktivists wrote on Twitter.

At press time, the site of All India Congress Committee is down, the one of the Supreme Court apparently experiencing performance issues.
