Anonymous brings down Tunisian government websites

It will be interesting to see if hackers will pursue other closed governments as well.
Openness is a good thing.

Aljazeera:
Online activists have attacked and at least momentarily disabled several Tunisian government websites in the latest act of protest against the country's embattled leadership.

As of Monday afternoon, local time, at least eight websites had been affected, including those for the president, prime minister, ministry of industry, ministry of foreign affairs, and the stock exchange.

The attack, which began on Sunday night, coincided with a national strike, planned to take place on Monday, that organizers said would be the biggest popular event of its size since Zine El Abidine Ben Ali assumed the presidency.
