The European sites of web retailer Amazon were temporarily offline on 12 December, amid ongoing threats against major sites by pro-Wikileak activists. British, French, German, Austrian and Italian sites were down for about 30 minutes on Sunday during a peak pre-Christmas shopping period. A group of cyber activists, Anonymous, is hitting firms that withdrew services from whistle-blowing site Wikileaks. Amazon said the outage was cause by "hardware failure" and not an attack.
