Pro-Russia Ukrainian hackers took down NATO websites on Saturday and Sunday in what is believed to be a response to the alliance's stance against Russian activity in the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea.
The activists used a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, which blasts chosen websites with so many requests that the site either crashes or moves too slowly to function. NATO had posted messages on its site stating that it did not approve of Sunday's Crimean referendum, a vote in which 93% of voters decided the Peninsula should become a part of Russia.
