#Anonymous´s last actions: Vatican website succumbs & #FFF New York Iron Works Hacked

Vatican website succumbs to online attack

The Vatican's official website suffered an attack by Anonymous March 7, cutting off access by users for several hours. Italian media outlets reported that the website, Vatican.va, became unresponsive around mid-afternoon local time.

Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, director of the Holy See Press Office, confirmed that vatican.va had been the "object of an attack," but said in a statement that he had no other information or comment to offer.

Anonymous was attacking the Vatican to protest the execution of heretics and the burning of books during the Inquisition and more recently the sexual abuse of children by priests.

Anonymous also claimed responsibility for several other hacks on March 8, including posting the personal information of FBI agents in a public online message board called "Operation Piggy Bank."
