Anonymous Attack Ukrainian Government over Demonoid Shutdown

Members of the Anonymous hacktivist community have attacked websites belonging to the Ukrainian authorities after Demonoid was forced offline. The BitTorrent link tracker's internet service provider (ISP) took it offline after being contacted by law enforcement officers. The US had previously alleged Demonoid was one of the most visited sites used to share pirated content. Many of its visitors are now concerned their activities may be exposed. It has emerged that officers at Ukraine's Division of Economic Crimes acted after being contacted by Interpol. Members of Anonymous subsequently announced plans to attack "those responsible for the interruption." The webpages belonging to the Ukrainian Anti-Piracy Association, the Ukrainian Agency for Copyright and Related Rights, and the National Television and Radio Broadcasting Council of Ukraine all became unavailable for a time.
