Last week we reported that the group "Anonymous" had taken down multiple websites relating to anti-piracy firms, starting with the MPAA and AiPlex Software and then taking down the RIAA.
Dubbed "Operation Payback," the protest revolves around DDoS attacks on the firm's main sites.
Following on from the other DDoS attacks, another wave has hit anti-piracy sites, this time taking down AFACT, the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft.
AFACT adds that a large number of sites hosted by their host (Negregistry), have been attacked as well.
8000 sites to be exact. "A lot of these sites are small Australian businesses and Government web sites," says Negregistry. "They have been affected by this senseless act."
With that, Operation Payback continues.
