#OpDomesticTerrorism: Anonymous shuts down Charlottesville city website with DDoS attack
The attack was allegedly launched to protest the Charlottesville city hit and run incident.

The hacktivist collective Anonymous has reportedly claimed responsibility for shutting down the Charlottesville
city website. The hacker group reportedly launched a distributed
denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, shortly after a hit and run incident in
the city, that claimed the life of 32-year-old Heather Heyer and
injured at least 19 others.
The DDoS attack, launched under a new
banner, dubbed #OpDomesticTerrorism, was allegedly launched to protest
the hit and run incident, which involved a group of activists protesting
a white supremacist rally. Police have since arrested the driver of the car, 20-year-old James Fields,
who has been "charged with second-degree murder, three counts of
malicious wounding and failing to stop at an accident that resulted in a
death."
HackRead reported that a user operating a prominent Anonymous
Twitter account, going by the handle @YourAnonGlobal, claimed that the
DDoS attack against the Charlottesville city website was carried out by
the New World Hackers (NWH), a counterpart of the Anonymous hacktivist collective.
"At
the time we saw the police were not so helpful, they left the people to
die which forced us to targeted the Charlottesville website to give
them a message." One of the members of NWH told HackRead. "New World
Hackers are back, and we are delivering our own version of justice to
the KKK, and government, in which ever way we please."
Yet another Twitter user operating the handle @AnonyInfo told IBTimes UK
that campaign was going after white supremacist websites instead of
government websites. The hacktivist also claimed that the campaign took
down the far-right website Altright.com on Saturday (12 August), even as
far-right groups marched during the Unite the Right rally.
The hacktivist also confirmed that
the campaign was a collaborative effort with other hackers within
Anonymous and its counterparts, including the NWH. "We're working with
various collectives within Anonymous to carry out attacks in a
decentralized manner," the hacker said. "We do not want to divide the
public by attacking Government websites. We need communities to unify
and stand against the white supremacist threat."
@AnonyInfo has
told us that the campaign is looking to target yet another far-right
website called RootBocks.com, which is currently attempting to gather
funds for those arrested during the Unite the Right rally. "If you look
at the website response time it's extremely slow. We're hoping this site
will be offline within a few hours," the hacktivist said. "These types
of attack will definitely continue."
Meanwhile, at the time of
writing, the Charlottesville city website remains down, indicating that
Anonymous' attack may be ongoing.
The violence and chaos in
Charlottesville were denounced by numerous US politicians, including
former President Barack Obama, former vice president Joe Biden, as well
as former Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie
Sanders.
However, US President Donald Trump's response to the clashes and violence in Charlottesville was slammed by other US politicians, even those from the Republican party.
Mr. President - we must call evil by its name. These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism. https://t.co/PaPNiPPAoW
No,
Mr. President. This is a provocative effort by Neo-Nazis to foment
racism and hatred and create violence. Call it out for what it is. https://t.co/WibPqkLsLa
