A group of hackers cripple Mastercard website shortly after the company closed the account so that Wikileaks can not be used to receive donations from the public. This attack is referred to them as a bulwark against Wikileaks by launching a revenge operation.
At least there are two groups of hackers who claimed to launch an attack DDos (distributed denial of service) to the Mastercard. Each group calling itself 4Chan and Anonymous. In this kind of attack, they are usually very high drive traffic to your site from various parts of the victim so that visitors difficulty accessing the site.
This is not the first attack carried out hackers to sites that prevent Wikileaks. Previously, PayPal and a block PostFinance account Wikileaks also got a similar attack from hackers the same group. On behalf of the defense against Wikileaks, they have declared a revenge operation under the name Operation Payback and Operation Avenge Assange.
The posters are distributed online, they say is not affiliated with Wikileaks, but defended because it has the same goal of freedom of information. Besides launching a counterattack against those who obstruct Wikileaks, hacker groups are also invited anyone to copy the Wikileaks site and pass it even if I have to print it.
Since the start releasing hundreds of thousands of secret documents U.S. diplomatic wire, the site Wikileaks also some times get DDoS attacks. Wikileaks also forced to repeatedly move hosting for Amazon evicted previous hosting provider and changed its address since EveryDNS blocked, and so forth.
