Hackers claim allegiance to the Anonymous movement of cyber-rebels. They defaced the website of a former British cabinet minister in solidarity with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. “If the reason is revenge for Assange’s treatment, it’s weird to attack me,” Hain says. The group made a variety of allegations against the 62-year-old Labour Party politician, before adding: “The UK’s persecution of Julian Assange will NOT be forgotten” Assange’s fight to avoid extradition took a dramatic turn in June, when he fled to the Ecuadorean Embassy seeking refuge.
