Visa, MasterCard targeted in apparent cyberattack
[Updated at 5:15 p.m.] The corporate websites of Visa and MasterCard
were inaccessible at times Wednesday due to an apparent cyberattack by purported Wikileaks backers.
Messages posted on Twitter indicated the attacks may be in response to recent moves by Visa and MasterCard against WikiLeaks, the website that recently released thousands of secret U.S. State Department documents.
"The issue appears to be the result of a concentrated effort to flood our corporate website with traffic and slow access," said MasterCard spokesman James Issokson, in a prepared statement. "We are working to restore normal service levels."
MasterCard and Visa Europe, a division of Visa, had said they were working to stop the acceptance of their cards on WikiLeaks.
On Twitter
e-faschism
The government using public resources as a deterent to being exposed as dolts doesn't sit real well.
The fact that Mastercard and Visa are letting the government tell them how to do business in the private sector gives the common folks the idea big brother is alive and well in the good old USA.
Perhaps we should close our MasterCard and Visa accounts as a protest. I have notified PayPal that I am looking for another source to process payments!!
how old are you? go do your homework or go to bed. idiots!
Fire!
they're not Wkileaks supporters, they're freedom of speech/press supporters
FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!
Nice try. Visa is just fine..
Payment terminals are down too. We just got a confirmation from one of the attackers. 😀
Weird.. Just used mine. Does that mean all you guys will stop using your Visa & Mastercards?

Ebaumsworld is tearing these sites up! Go, Ebaumsworld!
If Wikileaks can shut down these websites, they can certainly steal your credit card numbers. Won't be a bit funny then.
Don't be silly, it's a DOS attack from people who certainly aren't from WikiLeaks. Just some disgruntled haxorz making a point.
Folow Anon_operation on twitter they are the real ones behind it. of course CNN would not post the name of the twitter page they were referring to. corporate pig.
