On Twitter WikiLeaks Europe declared it was at "cyberwar" after firms sought to strangle funds to them following the release of embarrassing US diplomatic cables.

Lawyer Claes Borgstroem said: "Our email and website were hacked last night or this morning. We think it's the same people who attacked the prosecutors' website."

These 'hacktivists' are just reinforcing in the mind of the public that Wikileaks is a criminal enterprise.

Wikileaks calling for their supporters to target Paypal, Visa, Mastercard, private law firms, prosecutor's offices, Swiss banks, Twitter with 'Operation Payback' is really moronic.

What we are seeing is the emergence of borderless and nationless economic terrorism.
