The hacker group Anonymous has taken down a US tourism website in Orlando, Florida as a protest against the arrests of people handing out food to the city’s homeless.
Anonymous said the attack on orlandofloridaguide.com was retaliation for the arrest of members of the group Food not Bombs.
The website, which is not owned by the city, went offline for part of Tuesday.
Anonymous rose to prominence by hacking the sites of major corporations.
Anonymous is often seen as a political collective and has pledged to take action against those its members view as acting improperly.
They have been linked to several high-profile web attacks, including several on Sony websites as well as the Church of Scientology.
