HACKERS BLITZ BNP WEBSITE
Oct 9 2004
THE BNP's website has been shut down by hackers protesting about the party's far-right politics.
The group, calling themselves Hackarmy, set up a program that bombarded the site with hits, blocking access for others.
The campaigners closed the site yesterday and have vowed to continue their protest.
In a statement issued to the Daily Record, a spokesman for Hackarmy said: 'The British National Party is a disgrace.
'It has been decided that their online existence will now be put to an end.
'We have started a distributed denial of service attack on their main website.'
The news comes days after the Record revealed a mole in the BNP had wrecked their operations in Scotland.
Names, addresses and phone numbers of leading members of the movement have been passed to antifascist groups.
A spokesman for antifascist magazine Searchlight said: 'These leaks have seriously damaged the BNP's image in Scotland.'
