Federal websites swamped in “denial of service” attack

A number of Canadian government websites were crashed Wednesday by an unknown person or persons who used the handy disguise of Anonymous. Government sources and individual ministers have confirmed the attack which is said to be a “denial of service” type. This is caused by a flood of demands that leave the server unable to answer. The reason is said to be retaliation for a new anti-terrorism law passed by Canada’s parliament. In a video posted on YouTube said the law violated human rights and targeted people who disagree with the government.
