Anonymous has launched a DDoS attack against several UK government websites. Operation named “Operation Trial At Home,” fight the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) that could lead to the extradition of three accused criminals by the U.K.’s Home Office, the government department responsible for domestic security. The website became inaccessible around 21:00 on Saturday, and was up again from 05:00 Sunday. The attacks have mainly two motives: to protest against extradition of Gary McKinnon, Christopher Harold Tappin and Richard O’Dwyer.
