Video: Boston Police Responds to Anonymous Hacking

SHARE:

Adjust text size:

Anonymous hackers breached the news website of the Boston Police Department (bpdnews.com) as a form of protest against the eviction of protesters of Occupy Boston. Representatives of the BPD retaliated not with brute-force, but with an amusing video that reveals their reactions to the news that the site got hacked.

While law enforcement agencies are working hard to identify members of Anonymous, the BPD decided to add a little humor to the situation by making a video.

On the other side of the fence, the hacktivists vow to keep targeting US law enforcement agencies and since today is Friday, they announce another surprise as part of the operation in which the FBI is targeted.

Last Friday they leaked a conference call between the FBI and Scotland Yard in which agents discussed Anonymous, LulzSec and AntiSec.
