Anonymous activists have defaced websites around the world. They are engaged in political causes, including opposition to the global clampdown on file-sharing sites and defense of the secret-spilling site WikiLeaks.
In its message left on one of the hacked Chinese sites, the hackers express anger with the Chinese government for restrictions placed on the Internet.
