Anonymous drives Nissan offline in dolphin hunting protest

(BBC) Two of Nissan's main websites have been driven offline by a cyber-attack.

The Japanese carmaker said it had suspended its global and Japanese sites early on Wednesday after they had been bombarded with traffic.

Hacktivists linked to the Anonymous collective have claimed responsibility. They tweeted the attack was "punishment" for Japan's killing of whales and dolphins.

Nissan has said that it has no view on such hunting activities.

They better have a view!

If they "have no view" then they're blind. However, I don't know that they're the ones to punish for dolphin hunting. Better to harass the companies that do.
