New Zealand's Government Communications Security Bureau Targeted by Anonymous
Anonymous hacktivists launched a campaign against the New Zealand government after the world learned that police and spy agencies had been monitoring communications.
Last week, Anonymous issued a video statement threatening the government.
On Friday, the hackers launched a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack against the website of the Government Communications Security Bureau (gcsb.govt.nz), the public service department that contributes to national security by providing cyber security, information assurance, and foreign intelligence to New Zealand’s government agencies. The agency’s representatives confirmed for The New Zealand Herald that there might have been some temporary service interruptions.
