Soccer World Cup related Websites Hacked
Anonymous promised cyber-attack on World Cup Sponsors. They kicked offline earlier this week include World Cup sponsor Hyundai and government state Mato Grosso.
"We had a busy last few days and there is more still to come," a hacker who calls himself Che Commodore and who claims to be a member of the Anonymous hacker collective told Reuters on Wednesday.
"Companies and institutions that work with a government that denies the basic rights of its people in order to promote a private, exclusive and corrupt sports event will be targeted"
"Cyberattacks have become a popular way of gaining notoriety and publicity, though it’s not clear what motivations were behind this attack but could well be the issues that have seen Brazilians protesting almost daily," Edward Parsons, senior manager in the cyber security at KPMG, said in an emailed statement to Mashable.
They are using DDos ( Distributed Denial of Service ) to destroy websites.
Hackers broke into the foreign ministry's email service, accessing dozens of classified documents including a list of foreign dignitaries planning to attend World Cup matches.
