DailyDot: A top British intelligence agency launched cyberattacks against the hacktivist collective Anonymous, according to a NBC News report Tuesday based on a leak from former National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden. The documents also revealed the existence of the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG), a covert division of the Government Communications Headquarters Communications (GCHQ), one of Britain’s top intelligence agencies. In September 2012, JTRIG launched distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against Anonymous and LulzSec, the notorious hacker crew responsible for a high-profile hack of Sony Pictures, according to PowerPoint slides provided by NBC News. The slides were reportedly created for a 2012 NSA conference called SIGDEV (or signals intelligence development). MH
