Anonymous hacker group has reportedly brought down the Congress website, the Supreme Court website and some other government websites in retaliation for India’s new Internet laws and the blocking of websites like The Pirate Bay and Vimeo.
According to PCWorld , the group posted about the attack on their Twitter feed saying:
Anonymous has announced that it has Hacked India’s Supreme Court and All India Congress Political Party websites. Anonymous has hacked India’s Supreme Court and All India Congress websites because Indian Government has blocked websites like Vimeo, PirateBay etc. As the Electronic Frontier Foundation noted in February, “India has been known to censor online content, typically under the guise of national security or obscenity.” That same month, Google and Facebook were required to remove from their websites content the Indian government had deemed offensive. They were among 21 companies forced to take down photographs, videos, text, and other items officials consider anti-religious or anti-social.

Tell them they cannot stop you.” The @opindia_revenge feed promised continued attacks. “#India its a DDOS attack.
We do not assure for how long we can keep down sites. But we are firing at them. They will face lags,” it said earlier in the day. The million dollar question is: Whether these corrupt Indian politicians now stop crying for Internet censorship?
