Hackers network Anonymous have warned Swedish government that major financial institutions including the central bank would come under Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) Wednesday night in retaliation for Tuesday’s police raid on a web hosting company, the PRQ-which previously hosted whistle blowing site WikiLeaks and Pirate Bay.
“It’s come to our attention that Swedish government raided PRQ servers in order to shut down numerous file sharing and torrent websites,” wrote the Anonymous group on English-language image board website 4chan on Wednesday.
“This has gone too far. This is unacceptable. Anonymous says these stops right now. You don’t fuck with The Internet… Today we hit their wallets hard.”
The group has said the attacks will commence at 10.00 pm on Wednesday night.
Swedish police raided PRQ on Tuesday for violations of file sharing. During the raid several servers were taken away by police for further investigations.
The Riksbank has said that it is taking necessary step to prevent DDOS attack.
