Operation Payback Successfully Shuts Down Mastercard.com

It looks like the group that successfully took down the website of Julian Assange’s Swiss Bank have claimed another victim, reports Business Insider.

Mastercard.com is down, and @Anon_operation just tweeted that it’s due to a DDOS attack. Of course, Mastercard is one of the payment services that cut off the ability to donate to Wikileaks.

Earlier today the business site noted how the Swiss bank Switzerland Post Finance (a bank associated with the Swiss post office) had frozen Julian Assange’s bank account for his defense fund.

Well, payback. Their site was taken offline, and a group calling itself Operation Payback on Twitter claims credit for the DDOS.
