Mastercard site partially frozen by DDoS

Hackers have frozen Mastercard’s website in revenge for its decision to stop accepting donations to WikiLeaks. Mastercard said earlier this week that it would not process any more donations to the website. An online group called Anoymous claimed responsibility for the attack on the site. The group is thought to be linked to 4Chan, which launched a DDOS attack on a legal firm that has been chasing illegal downloaders, in September. The firm that enables WikiLeaks to accept donations has vowed to take legal action to ensure payments can be accepted.”]
