The hacker group, or hacker, known as AerithXOR2 recently confirmed through their twitter page to have struck down Ottawa city’s website again as promised on Monday morning. The hacker group had earlier mentioned on same twitter page at around 7:44 a.m. that it will again take down the City of Ottawa’s website Ottawa.ca, offline. Later on it was confirmed that the website was indeed offline as of 8 a.m., followed by another message saying “just took down ottawa.ca as promised.”
The hacker has alleged to restore the website soon but refrained from providing a specified time. Furthermore, the hacker also said to have taken down the Calgary Police website. These latest hacks have come after a frantic weekend of activity, service attacks and attempts by the organizations affected to restore their websites and keep them online. Previously, the group threatened on Sunday to “completely rape” the Ottawa Police website. It said that “right now we killed ottawapolice.ca with a denial of service, however, we’re going to completely rape those sites.”
A Notable expert on the hacker group Anonymous, Gabriella Coleman, explained that “denial of service attack” happens by loading a web page multiple times to crash a server and get it offline. It was revealed that “DDos campaigns” are achieved by using a string of “zombie computers” and link them together to repeatedly open a particular website. Thereafter, a Nov. 12 letter vowed that this is exactly what would happen and “we will launch large DDoS campaigns at all governments, police forces. We will also hack into anything and everything.”
