HACKERS took down the website of the National Crime Agency in an apparent revenge attack for arrests made last week.
The NCA site was inaccessible yesterday morning and a Twitter account linked to the hacking collective known as Lizard Squad appeared to claim responsibility.
It is thought the website was taken down in a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, in which web servers or websites are flooded with massive amounts of data, rendering them inaccessible to visitors.
It came days after the NCA announced six teenagers had been arrested on suspicion of launching attacks using a service created by the group, which previously targeted Xbox and PlayStation networks.
The suspects, who are aged 15-18, were held during an operation targeting alleged users of a tool known as Lizard Stresser.
