(NewsPoint) – Online activists, the so-called 'Null Crew', affiliated with Lulzsec, claimed on Tuesday to have taken down the UK's Ministry of Defence website.  The hacktivists claim to have obtained 3,400 credentials and leaked them onto 'anonpaste' along with the following message:

Your webmaster made a terrible mistake… You may criticize us on the simplicity of the vulnerability. But if you can get so much useful data so easily, why wouldn’t you? We hope that all governments and organizations realize that #FuckTheSystem is definitely not a joke. We hope that you have the decency to grasp the concept of it. But hey… You’re the government right… Just some butthurt little fags. This security just proves how much of a joke our governments are. Vulnerability => Easy as fuck SQL Injection.

Usernames, passwords and emails are among the data leaked.

The attack came as thousands of Anonymous supporters gathered in Trafalgar Square and marched to Parliament in a recreation of the iconic V for Vendetta scene, and in protest of the government.
