25 members of famous hacking group Anonymous have been arrested in different places of the world. According to Interpol, the hackers were arrested in Argentina, Chile, Columbia and Spain. Around 250 computers and other devices of hackers ranging between 17 to 40 years of age were seized by the officials. The reason of the arrest was that Anonymous is growing more powerful everyday and recently, a lot of high profile websites were shut-down by them as a protest of shutting down Megaupload.
As a retaliation to this, the website of Interpol which is interpol.int was brought down by Anonymous. The website was unavailable for half an hour on Wednesday. This Distributed Denial-of-Service attack was co-ordinated using a botnet and the message was published in Twitter. Though the website is back online but the it is taking a comparatively longer time to load.
The Anons demand the hackers to be released and probably they will strike again very soon if that is not done.
