International Hacking Group Targets Area Monument

CORINTH (WCBI) –  An international group of cyberhackers is targeting a North Mississippi confederate monument.

The group known as Anonymous says it plans to bring down the Corinth Confederate monument Friday afternoon.  The group listed the Corinth statue among at least a dozen it plans to take action against at 5:00 Friday.    Sites in Mobile, Alabama along with locations in Florida and Oklahoma are also included on a list released by the hackers.  The loose knit group has been effective in the past in cyberattacks shutting down sites like PayPal .  That’s the same group which also published names last year of people who it claimed were Klan members.
