an army of computer hackers is planning to bring down British government website if Mr Julian Assange, founder of wikileaks, is extradited to Sweden. They have hacked the website for Dutch police, MasterCard,Visa and Paypal. This happened when they companies announced that they will not donate to the anti-secrecy organisation.

the recent cyberattack which is in support of wikileaks has caused trouble to Visa and the Dutch police website. Visa was down for a day. This was a warning given. However, in my opinion, there's pros and cons about this anti-secrecy organisation. The pros would be for example, they leaked out the documents about North Korea and Myanmar. The two countries have always been close. It was said in the documents that Myanmar is building nuclear sites with help from North korea. This allows the US to react over Myanmar's instability and aversion to change. Without this documents, some things may not be able to come to light. However, too much of this leaked document can prone terrorist attack. The documents are raw. Some documents may spark anger from people when they happen to read some negative comments in the wikileaks.
