Anonymous Takes Down Brazilian Websites
Yesterday we mentioned that the Polish government experienced numerous DDoS attacks. Today, it is Brazil's turn.
This pastebin site shows that several Brazilian government sites were brought down:

All in all, many websites were taken down. The fact that most of them are up again indicates that this was not the most sophisticated attack. However, the speed and power of the DDoS attacks is something to worry about.
Looking at the LOIC downloads in Brazil, they were high but not compared to the US, Poland or France. It seems these attacks were propogated mostly through websites which enabled DDoS attacks.
