Hackers said they had taken down the websites of Bahrain's international airport, state news agency and chamber of commerce on Tuesday to mark the 12-year anniversary of an Arab Spring uprising in the small Gulf country.
A statement posted online by a group calling itself Al-Toufan, or "The Flood" in Arabic, claimed to have hacked the airport website, which was unavailable for at least a half hour in the middle of the day.
The group posted images showing 504 Gateway Timeout Errors, saying the hacking was "in support of the revolution of our oppressed people of Bahrain." "A number of Government agency websites have today been the target of malicious cyber-attacks," the government said in a statement. "Government operations were unaffected by the attacks and work is ongoing to restore access to the targeted websites."Feb. 14, 2011, marked the first day of protests led by Bahrain's Shiite majority against the Sunni monarchy. Similar pro-democracy uprisings led to the overthrow of long-ruling autocrats in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen.
