Hackers claiming to be part of hacktivist collective Anonymous have been accused of issuing a bomb threat and launching a campaign of cyber attacks against a Finnish anti-piracy group.
The actions were made in protest against the Finnish government’s decision to force Elisa, one of the country’s largest ISPs, to block access to file-sharing site The Pirate Bay.
Elisa was ordered by the local district court in Helsinki to prevent its customers from accessing the site, prompting numerous Twitter accounts linked with Anonymous to voice discontent, with some even appearing to threaten the government. “To the Finnish government: Stop censorship or deal with the consequences,” one Twitter user wrote.
