Italian Anonymous Hackers take down Vatican’s website in retaliation for the “corruption” of the Roman Catholic Church. The group accused the Catholic Church of being responsible for various misdeeds throughout history including the burning of heretics during the inquisition. Meanwhile, hackers associated with LulzSec took down and defaced more than 25 websites belonging to Panda Security, claiming the security firm had been “working with Law Enforcement to lurk and snitch on anonymous activists” The feds charged Ryan Ackroyd (aka kayla), Jake Davis (aka topiary) and Darren Martyn (aka pwnsauce) in Manhattan Federal Court with computer hacking conspiracy for the hacks.
