Anonymous hit Governments of Peru, Philippines and Colombia

Several hacker groups have mounted a fresh batch of cyber attacks against the Peruvian, Colombian and Philippines governments, all in the name of Anonymous' ongoing AntiSec campaign.

The attacks were all first revealed on The Hacker News website before subsequently being publicised by Anonymous via one of its Twitter accounts, where the group tweeted: "#AntiSec spreading everywhere, Phillipines [sic]: http://bit.ly/pjyMSx Columbia: http://bit.ly/n1WH80 Peru: http://bit.ly/q9sTQw Rock on, mateys!"

The attack on the Colombian Government saw the hackers target roughly 250 of the country's police officials with "spam bombs". Following the regular pattern of most hacker groups, the attackers went on to post a statement online containing the personal data of National Police employees. The statement thanked the police, "for keeping us submitted and trampled" and invited all like-minded individuals to join the AntiSec movement.
