WikiLeaks: hackers 'crash Mastercard site with cyber attack'
2010-12-08
Hackers today claimed to have crashed the MasterCard website in revenge for the firm suspending services to whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks.

Anonymous, understood to be a loose-knit group of internet activists, tweeted: "We are glad to tell you that mastercard.com is down and it's confirmed."

Another message read: "There are some things WikiLeaks can't do. For everything else, there's Operation Payback."

Mastercard was not immediately available to comment but repeated attempts to load the site met without success.
