Quote:10.49pm: Visa.com remains inaccessible, while operations at Mastercard.com still appear to be painfully slow in the aftermath of cyber-attacks against its network earlier in the day.
We're still awaiting an official response from Visa. But it may not be so badly off as Mastercard due to its site's architecture: the attacks have been targeted at visa.com and not the company's "Verified by Visa" server, meaning that the attack isn't likely to disrupt Visa's payment processing.
10.40pm: Sarah Palin claims her website and credit card details have been attacked by Operation Payback, according to an email she sent to ABC News's Jake Tapper:
The website and personal credit card information of former Gov. Sarah Palin were cyber-attacked today by Wikileaks supporters, the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate tells ABC News in an email.
Hackers in London apparently affiliated with "Operation Payback" – a group of supporters of Julian Assange and Wikileaks – have tried to shut down SarahPac and have disrupted Sarah and Todd Palin's personal credit card accounts.
"No wonder others are keeping silent about Assange's antics," Palin emailed. "This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his sick, un-American espionage efforts."
