The websites of the Swedish government, Armed Forces and the Swedish Institute were among those experiencing problems. "I can confirm that the government site had problems today, but for security reasons, I cannot say more," Anna Dahlen, a government spokeswoman, told the AFP news agency adding that she did not know when the site would be back online. Among websites hit were sweden.se - which gives general information about the country, and studyinsweden.se. Patrik Braennstroem, web host of sweden.se, said it "came under a DDoS [distributed denial of service] attack". He believes that other official sites were "undoubtedly" victims of the same attack. Niklas Englund, head of digital media at the Swedish Armed Forces, said it was unclear who was behind the so-called DDoS attacks, in which websites are overwhelmed with bogus traffic. But he noted that an unidentified group urging Sweden to take its "hands off Assange" claimed responsibility on Twitter. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been sheltering at Ecuador's Embassy in Britain since June 19 in an effort to avoid extradition to Sweden, where prosecutors want to question the founder of the whistleblower website WikiLeaks over alleged sex crimes. Meanwhile, a tweet by he Swedish branch of Anonymous hackers said: "There were claims last night about regeringen.se being hit, but we really can't confirm it at this stage," referring to the government's website. Anonymous "usually claims its attacks and does it noisily," Internet community expert Marcin de Kaminski told AFP. Anonymous has carried out several cyber attacks against government websites, including those of Poland and Greece.[/quote]

Death penalty on the horrible people responsible for this

Find the culprits and send the SEALs to their house. It worked last time right EDIT: Also lol at the article for talking about anonymous. They're not an actual group with goals and affiliations, and they are certainly not the only ones capable of DDoS'ing a site. EDIT2: [quote=article]Internet community expert Marcin de Kaminski[/quote] What kind of retarded title is that.

my heartfelt condolences go out to every victim involved in this terrible, terrible tragedy

worse than Malachor V

2tragic4me

but seriously what has sweden ever done for people to be this mad

What did sweden do and why do people continue to think that DDOSing government websites will help anything.

First Interpol, now Sweden. The world is fucked.

"Anonymous usually claims the attacks and do so noisily." The parallel to Al Queda is almost insane when it comes to this. "Death to filthy Americans" vs "Death to... oh hey, is that Child porn on 4chan? YOLO!"

why sweden?
