The websites of the Brazilian government and President have fallen victim to hacker group Lulz Security.<\/p>\n

In a Twitter posting, LulzSec said “Tango Down” and linked to the two sites.<\/p>\n

Both are thought to have been taken offline by distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS).<\/p>\n

LulzSec recently signalled its intent to target the systems of governments and associated organisations around the world.<\/p>\n

In the past month, it has attacked the UK’s Serious Organised Crime Agency, the US Senate, Sony, and the broadcaster PBS, as well as a number of games companies.<\/p>\n

DDoS attacks are regarded more as malicious activity than hacking, because the sites’ computer systems are not broken into.<\/p>\n

Instead, they are deliberately overloading with traffic, such as communication requests or so-called ‘e-mail bombs’.<\/p>\n

The group tweeted “Our Brazilian unit is making progress. Well done @LulzSecBrazil, brothers!” shortly after the two sites went down.<\/p>\n

Arrest<\/span><\/p>\n

LulzSec also commented on the case of 19-year-old Ryan Cleary<\/a> who was arrested in Essex on 21 June on suspicion of hacking websites.<\/p>\n

The group said that he was not part of their organisation.<\/p>\n

Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Paul Stephenson, described Mr Cleary’s arrest as “very significant”.<\/p>\n

Although he declined to discuss the details of the case, the Commissioner added: “The challenges around cyber-crime are extremely significant and deeply worrying across the gamut of cyber-crime from personal information to how a paedophile can enter a child’s bedroom.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
