Anonymous claims hack Icelandic sites

Activist collective Anonymous hackers claim responsibility for the downing of five government websites in Iceland protest against whaling by this country.

In a video posted on social media, activists called on everyone to hack websites linked to Iceland to protest the continued commercial whaling despite international moratorium.

Iceland is a member of the International Whaling Commission (IWC), an intergovernmental body that prohibits commercial fishing rod since 1986. But both Iceland and Norway continue to hunt whales.
