The hacktivist group 'TeaMp0isoN' hacked UK's Secret Intelligence Service,MI6 by launching an automated 24-hour "phone bomb" attack.
According to Softpedia report, the hackers used a cleverly developed script to make calls to the agency’s offices for 24 hours non-stop, basically launching a phone-based denial-of-service (DOS) attack.
This attack prevents any legitimate calls from getting through. Each time an MI6 official answered the phone, a robot voice said "Team Poison,".
Following the phone bombing, Team Poison leader "TriCk" called the secret intelligence service directly to taunt it. In a YouTube video uploaded Tuesday, TriCk, speaking with a British accent, tells the MI6 representative, "You're being phone-bombed right now, mate."
"The Counter Terrorist Command has always targeted by TeaMp0isoN purely because they help lock up innocent people who they themselves label as terrorists with no proof at all, - but the reason behind the recent phone denial of service (phone bomb) targeted at their office in London was because of the recent events where the counter terrorist command and the UK court system has extradited Babar Ahmad, Adel Abdel Bary & a few others to be trialled in the US, and we all know how the US treats innocent Muslims they label as terrorists, e.g. - Aafia Siddiqui" Softpedia quoted TriCk as saying the reason for the attack.
