Anonymous Takes Down India's Supreme Court and Congress Websites

Hacker collective Anonymous has announced it has taken down India's Supreme Court and All India Congress websites.

Anonymous announced the attack via Twitter, claiming the reason is "Internet censorship" and suggesting India should "install" a new government.

Both websites are available but slow at the time of this writing.
