BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Police Department’s website remains offline for the second day in a row after members of the hacking collective Anonymous defaced it.
People trying to access the website were redirected to the department’s Facebook page Saturday, a day after the hackers posted rapper KRS-One “Sound of Da Police” music video that criticizes police brutality.
A message posted on the website Friday said, “Anonymous hacks Boston Police website in retaliation for police brutality at OWS.” That’s apparently a reference to Occupy Wall Street.
A police spokeswoman on Saturday declined to say why the website has not been restored and refused to discuss measures authorities were taking to bolster the site.
Anonymous is a collection of Internet enthusiasts, pranksters and activists whose targets have included Visa and MasterCard, the Church of Scientology and law enforcement agencies.
I do consider all the ideas you’ve offered to your post. They are very convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for newbies. May you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
