Spanish police website hit by cyber attack: report

Source: Reuters

MADRID (Reuters) - Access to the website of Spain's national police force was blocked for over an hour late on Saturday in a reprisal attack by the Anonymous hackers group, El Mundo said on its website on Sunday.

El Mundo said the group had warned police in a statement it planned to disable the website at some time on Saturday. The website was down for at least an hour from 2130 GMT, the paper said.

A spokesman for the Spanish police said access to the website www.policia.es was blocked at 2 a.m. on Sunday, but said police were still studying the reason for this.

In a separate development, the International Monetary Fund became the latest known target of a major cyber attack on Saturday.
