Hacktivist Group Anonymous Launches Attack Against Dragon Mart In Cancun

Anonymous Attacks Dragon Mart Construction In Mexico

Well-known hacktivist group Anonymous has initiated #OpDragon , an operation designed as a protest against the construction of Dragon Mart Cancún.

The cyber attack began Monday morning and has targeted many of Quintana Roo's government websites as well as Dragon Mart sites. Quintana Roo's main portal held up against the attack that was announced last week but Anonymous recently announced on Twitter that it was finally brought down as well.

Many have spoken out against the construction of the huge commercial center announced early last year, reports the Wall Street Journal. They believe it will take business away from the locals and could harm a coral reef nearby.

This is a developing story.
