Anonymous Attacks Citi

Total Loss:
TBD
Citigroup has confirmed its consumer banking sites were temporarily offline Friday because of what a bank spokesman referred to as temporary outages. Hackers with Anonymous have claimed to be behind the attacks.
The Citigroup and Citibank websites, as well as sites run by a string of other institutions, were hit last week with denial-of-service attacks, allegedly launched by Anonymous, according to The New York Times. The same hackers are believed to be connected to last week's attack on Banco de Brasil.
