Anonymous targeted the website of the Greek Justice Ministry this morning as the leaderless group kicked off a day of protests against the financially embattled European country for its decision to the sign the controversial ACTA treaty. The so-called hacktivists replaced the Justice Ministry website with a video message to Greece alongside threats to wreck havoc with another 300 media websites and a direct warning to the government.</p>

Greece is currently in last ditch talks with EU member States and creditors as they work to prevent a default that will affect the whole EU and Euro currency. Constant new revelations about the ever-worsening financial state of the country’s debts are not helping matters, causing massive protests and riots from frustrated and angry citizens.</p>
<p>
Greek Police have already confirmed the incident, updating its <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/astynomia/status/165335990393774080">Twitter account</a> to announce that their cybercrimes unit has begun investigations into the Justice Ministry's website defacing. The website remains offline after the attacks earlier this morning.</p>
<p>
The country is <a href="https://www.mofa.go.jp/policy/economy/i_property/acta1201.html">one of 22 EU member states</a> that have signed the ACTA treaty. Those are in addition to Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore and the US, who all signed the treaty last October.</p><p><a rel='canonical' href='https://www.techspot.com/news/47306-anonymous-targets-greece-ministry-of-justice-for-signing-acta-treaty.html' target='_blank'>Permalink to story.</a></p><p class='permalink'><a rel='canonical' href='https://www.techspot.com/news/47306-anonymous-targets-greece-ministry-of-justice-for-signing-acta-treaty.html'>https://www.techspot.com/news/47306-anonymous-targets-greece-ministry-of-justice-for-signing-acta-treaty.html</a></p>
