Anonymous activist takes down Greek govt. websites October 9, 2012 - 10:51 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The activist hacker group Anonymous said it had taken down a number of Greek government websites on Monday, Oct 8, on the eve of a visit by German Chancellor Angela Merkel that is likely to be met by angry protests. According to Reuters, several government websites appeared to go down briefly late on Monday, including those of the Citizens Protection Ministry, the police and the Ministry of Justice. A message appeared saying: "The page cannot be found". Police could not confirm who was responsible for the attack, which Anonymous claimed in a series of Tweets on the social media site Twitter. In a message posted on YouTube, the group criticized the huge security operation that police plan for Tuesday to contain protests against Merkel, comparing the government to the military junta that ruled Greece from 1967 to 1974.
