Anonymous warns about a 30-day campaign against central bank sites across the world, reports Reuters .
According to the source, Greece's central bank became the target of a cyberattack by activist hacking group Anonymous on Tuesday, which disrupted service of its web site, a Bank of Greece official said on Wednesday.
The official declining to be named said that the attack lasted for a few minutes and was successfully tackled by the bank's security systems. The only thing affected by the denial-of-service attack was the bank’s website.
“This marks the start of a 30-day campaign against central bank sites across the world,” the Anonymous warns.
Anonymous originated in 2003, adopting the Guy Fawkes mask as their symbol for online hacking.
