U.K. National Crime Agency's Website Attacked

The U.K. National Crime Agency’s website was shut down by a massed online attack in apparent retaliation for arrests last week in its investigation into the Lizard Squad hacking group. NCA spokesman Matthew Niizeki confirmed the agency had been hit by a so-called Denial of Service attack, where a website is flooded with requests for information until it crashes.
