(Before It's News)

A Wisconsin man has been indicted over allegations that he helped the hacktivist group Anonymous briefly shut down two websites in 2011 during a virtual protest waged at billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation claims 37-year-old Eric J. Rosol of Black Creek, Wisconsin participated in a distributed denial-of-service, or DDoS, attack in late February 2011 that targeted the websites of two companies controlled by the Koch’s: Quilted Northern and Koch Industries.

Earlier that month, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker announced plans to slash benefits for public workers and bust organized unions across the state. Tens of thousands of demonstrators would rally outside the Capitol Building for weeks during the debate in response, but an action organized by Anonymous — and allegedly involving Rosol — went after Walker’s ties on the Web.
