Earlier this year the Anonymous hacking collective took credit for knocking offline a couple of sites belonging to the Federal Trade Commission. They claimed that the attack was in retaliation for the U.S. government’s support of the controversial Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.

The hacker collective defaced the websites, posting an Anti-ACTA video on them, in addition to publishing a data-dump on Pastebin, which purported to include usernames and hashed login credentials belonging to a vast number of FTC employees.
