Operation Defense - Anonymous shut down Colombia's president website
Anonymous and Colombian Hackers shut down the websites of Colombia's president, the interior and justice ministry, the intelligence service DAS and the governing U party. According to hacker's Twitter page, the hacker attack was meant as a protest against government censorship.

The DoS attack on the government websites named "Operation Defense". On the website of the U Party, the hackers posted a fake biography of President Juan Manuel Santos in which the hackers talk about the break-in of the President's facebook page carried out on July 20, Colombia's Independence Day.
