<p>The Friday hacks appeared to compromise emails and other sensitive documents:<!--more--></p>
<blockquote><p>A web page that included Anonymous' signature tag line stated the hacking was in response to Alabama's "recent racist legislation in an attempt to punish immigrants as criminals" -- referring to legislation, signed last June, aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration in the state.</p>
<p>The Anonymous-related Twitter page also provided links to documents, messages and other files that it said it had taken off a website tied to Mexico's mining ministry.</p>
<p>"Hello Mexican Chamber of Mines," a related Twitter post read. "Want to see your emails exposed?"</p></blockquote>
<p>Interpol's website, Interpol.int, was hit Saturday afternoon:</p>

<p>A <a href="http://pastebin.com/JMmd2bXm">message</a> found on Pastebin.com appeared to imply credit for DDoSing Interpol and was tagged "With love from @blackTuesday." (Ed: The Twitter handle for the group is apparently <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/blacktuesdayHG" target="_blank">@BlackTuesdayHG</a>.)</p>
<p>Thousands protested A.C.T.A. (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) across Europe on Saturday. While anti-piracy A.C.T.A. is a favorite target for Anonymous's wrath and plenty of Guy Fawkes masks were in evidence in photos of protesters, it wasn't clear that the Interpol wipe and A.C.T.A. protests were connected.</p>
