Hacker hit again

Anonymous hacks Colombian president’s page

Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos late Wednesday has tweeted that his Facebook page was hit by the hacker group Anonymous. On the page Anonymous left its short distinctive phrases and a link to a video entitled "False Independence”, as Colombia marks the 201st year of its independence from Spain. The video says that the celebrations should not be held. It argued that the country needed to demand its full rights on all fronts, criticizing violence and unemployment rates in the South American nation of about 45 million. Anonymous became infamous last year with cyber attacks in support of controversial whistleblower website WikiLeaks. The group was linked to attacks on Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Sony and quite a number of banks and establishments. More than a dozen individuals believed to be linked to Anonymous were arrested Wednesday in a sting that nabbed persons across the US and abroad.
