The FBI has raided a Texas business and seized a computer while investigating the Operation Payback hackers, who temporarily froze the web sites of Mastercard, Visa, and other businesses that cut services to WikiLeaks, according to an affidavit obtained by The Smoking Gun. The FBI began the investigation earlier this month after PayPal reported the hackers attacked its site. PayPal, Mastercard, and several other firms had canceled services to WikiLeaks after the whistleblower site began leaking secret US diplomatic cables. The FBI originally told Truthout that it could not confirm if it was investigating the hackers.
