The website of the Moscow district court that sentenced three members of the band Pussy Riot to jail has been attacked by hackers posting anti-Putin messages. The message read: “Putin’s thieving gang is plundering our country, wake up comrades!” Anonymous Russia posted an appeal for the band’s release as well as a video clip of one of their songs. Hackers said they had also brought down websites belonging to the justice department and Department for Work and Pensions in the attack. Anonymous said on Twitter on Monday that it aimed to take down a number of British government websites.
