Anonymous, who supports George Floyd protests and declares a ‘war’ to the Minneapolis Police Service (MPD), is thought to have carried out an attack that led to the collapse of the city’s police and municipal websites. Demonstrations that began to protest the murder of unarmed black George Floyd by white police Derek Chauvin on Monday in Minneapolis, USA have turned into a nationwide revolt, and the deployment of the National Guard in many cities has not been stopped despite the prohibition of curfew, while Anonymous stepped in. The international hackactivist group, which generally conducted cyber attacks on governments and companies to protest political events, made statements that supported the George Floyd protests and declared ‘war’ to the Minneapolis Police Service (MPD). Parallel to this, the collapse of the websites of the city municipality that declared MPD and curfew were interpreted as the action of Anonymous in social media.
