Hackers Shut Down Egyptian Government Sites
Anonymous, a group of hackers from all over the world, gathered some 500 supporters in coordinated on-line forums and used software tools to bring down the websites of the Ministry of Information and President Hosni Mubarak’s National Democratic Party. The websites were unavailable on Wednesday evening. In January Anonymous shut down the websites of the Tunisian government in support of the uprising that forced the dictator, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali to flee the country. The group stated - "we are sick of oppressive governments encroaching on people.”
