Hackers disrupt Australian government Web sites
Hackers shut down several Australian government Web sites Wednesday in a coordinated attack against a proposed Internet filter that targets pornography and criminal sites.
The Australian Parliament House Web site was down for almost an hour and the Department of Communications site also experienced difficulties, the Attorney-General's Department said in a statement. It said the distributed denial-of-service attack, which blocked access to the sites, was launched by a group calling itself only "Anonymous." (AP)
