Wikileaks hackers threaten the British government over the transfer of wikileaks founder to Sweden. An army of hackers told the government officials that if they make any step of transferring the Julian Assange to Sweden, they will hack the government websites and shut them down. I want to know the details of this story. Have they hacked any British website? What do you know about the story?

According to a news article: An army of computer hackers is planning to bring down British government websites if Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, is extradited to Sweden. The 1,500-strong network of online activists has already sabotaged the websites of MasterCard, Visa and the Swedish government with millions of bogus visits. The attacks, termed “Operation Payback”, came after the credit card companies and PayPal, an online payment firm, announced that they would no longer process donations to the anti-secrecy organization. The group of hackers, called Anonymous, said it would target British government websites if Mr. Assange was extradited to Sweden, where he is wanted over allegations of sexual assault. Gregg Housh, an American internet activist who previously worked with the hackers, said: “They will go after the weakest links, because they want to see results. They will probably test a few sites and then decide.” The hackers said they were planning to target Amazon, the online retailer. A message posted on their Twitter account yesterday stated: “Target: www.Amazon.com locked on!!!”. Mr. Assange was arrested by the Metropolitan Police’s extradition squad earlier this week after Swedish prosecutors issued an international arrest warrant. These kind of news really exposes the negative side of wikileaks.
