Interpol Site Knocked Offline Following Anonymous Arrests [<g>] 28 Feb 2012 Interpol's Web site went down Tuesday just hours after the international police agency announced the arrest of 25 suspected members of the hacking collective Anonymous in Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Spain. On Twitter, hackers affiliated with Anonymous took credit for the attack and openly encouraged their sympathizers to keep Interpol's site offline by flooding its servers with traffic. The attack followed Interpol's announcement Tuesday that it had arrested suspected Anonymous hackers in an operation it titled Operation Unmask.
