The Home Office website has gone down after an apparent cyber attack in protest against Government surveillance plans.
A message on the site said the page was currently unavailable ‘due to a high volume of traffic’, suggesting a denial of service attack had been perpetrated.
A message on Twitter claiming to be from Anonymous, a loosely organised group of hackers who promote access to free speech, information and transparency, said the action was ‘for [the Home Office’s] draconian surveillance proposals’.
