Poland Reviews Stance on Treaty After Web Attacks
January 23rd, 2012Polish leaders will debate on Monday their stance on an international copyright agreement after activists attacked government websites to protest the treaty.
Many websites, including those of the prime minister and parliament, were inaccessible Monday for the second straight day. The attacks were claimed by Anonymous, a loose network of online activists who oppose Warsaws plans to sign the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or ACTA.
Dear Polish government, we will continue to disrupt and interfere with your government official websites until the 26th. Do not pass ACTA, one message on Twitter said.
