Hackers Claim to Have Defaced Website of Japan’s Ministry of Defense
The Anonymous hackers behind Operation KillingBay admit that the Twitter storm they had planned for December 1 wasn’t as successful as they had hoped. However, they claim the campaign has had some success so far.
The hacktivists say they have briefly defaced the official website of the Japanese Ministry of Defense. However, I couldn’t find any evidence to support these claims.
They also say they’ve launched DDOS attacks on the website of WAZA, Macy’s and Microsoft.
Finally, the hackers claim to have obtained the details of several hundred “Taiji enablers.” So far, they’ve only leaked information belonging to a single individual.
The campaign has raised some awareness of the killing of dolphins in the Japanese town of Taiji. However, it remains to be seen whether OpKillingBay will have any real impact.
