Anonymous Hacks UK Government Sites Over 'Draconian Surveillance'

Krystalo writes "The hacktivist group Anonymous today hacked multiple UK government websites over the country's 'draconian surveillance proposals' and 'derogation of civil rights.' At the time of writing, the following websites were taken down: homeoffice.gov.uk, number10.gov.uk, and justice.gov.uk. The group is not pleased with the UK government's plans to monitor Internet users."

Some of the words, like "colour" "centre" and "organise" have been cannily vandalized.

It's quite a clevre plan.

That will show em who is boss!
