At the moment, Visa.com is down. Earlier today,
a group of 4chan hackers known as Anonymous crippled MasterCard's website with a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack, claiming that it had done so to punish MasterCard for its refusal to transmit funds to controversial website WikiLeaks. As the
group promised earlier today via Twitter, Anonymous has now successfully taken down Visa.com. Mashable lists Anonymous' other recent targets as including the websites of: Joe Lieberman, Sarah Palin, an attorney
representing two girls who claim to have been sexually assaulted by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and Assange's Swedish prosecutor. PayPal
may well be next.
