The Register reports that more than 20 Japanese government entities were claimed to have been attacked by the Anonymous Italia Collective, which purports to be an affiliate of the Anonymous hacktivist operation, following an International Atomic Energy Agency decision to permit the release of wastewater from the Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant. Outages at Japans Ministry of the Environment, Atomic Energy Commission, Nuclear Regulation Authority, Atomic Power Company, the Atomic Energy Society, Science and Technology Agency, Foreign Press Center, and other websites have been reported by attackers even though all 21 allegedly compromised websites have been accessed by The Register.
