Hacker group, ANONYMOUS, previously demanded the repeal of ordinances that make it illegal to panhandle at busier intersections, sleep on public property in the downtown area and heavy restrictions to the ability to feed the homeless in Ft. Lauderdale, FL this past Novemeber. With 90-year-old, Arnold Abbott, facing yet more charges for feeding the homeless in Ft. Lauderdale, ANONYMOUS made good on their promise with a cyber attack on the City.

According to the Sun Sentinel,

Besides the city’s website, fortlauderdale.gov, the police department website, flpd.org, also was affected, as was the city’s email system.

City officials said Monday evening that once they became aware of the denial-of-service attack, which created a Web traffic jam and kept people from accessing the sites, the city shut them down as a precaution. City Manager Lee Feldman said it was like “a school going into lockdown” to make sure no one entered the site for malicious purposes.

Ft. Lauferdale Mayor, Jack Seiler says he believes regular activists and advocates for helping the homeless do not support the actions of ANONYMOUS.
