Anonymous forces plant research website offline: "Denial of service attack appears to have been motivated by a GM wheat trial ongoing at the research centre
The website of a plant research centre north of London was knocked offline on Sunday evening in what appeared to be a protest at its ongoing trial of genetically modified wheat.
Rothamsted Research's website went offline from about 6pm on Sunday evening, but was brought back online by Monday morning.
The twitter handle @AnonCrash1 was the first to mention the attack, at 5:18pm on Sunday, tweeting "Tango Down www.rothamsted.ac.uk". Five hours later, @AnonOpsLegion tweeted: "TANGO DOWN these guys are like the MONSANTO of the UK www.rothamsted.ac.uk.""
