The website of Texas-based security and intelligence think tank, Stratfor, is back online with a newly designed site today after being hacked by the Anonymous Internet collective on December 25. Stratfor CEO, George Friedman, blames the attack on misconceptions about who Stratfor is and what they do. He claims the attack, unlike other attacks by Anonymous and groups like them, was a deliberate attempt to silence Stratfor by destroying their records. At the time of publication, the website could not be reached.
