Australia<\/strong>
\nA group of hackers claiming to be affiliated with an Indonesian branch of Anonymous defaced<\/a> dozens of websites belonging to Australian businesses with a message reading, \u201cStop Spying on Indonesia.\u201d The defacements appear to be in response<\/a> to recent news about Australia\u2019s involvement in US-led surveillance efforts.<\/p>\n

Brazil<\/strong>
\nThe Brazilian government issued a decree<\/a> that made good on earlier promises to ensure that from now on government email will be state run<\/a> and all government data will henceforth be stored in government facilities in Brazil. The move was made as a result of concerns about US spying.<\/p>\n

Iran<\/strong>
\nA growing number of high-level Iranian officials are calling for a lift of the government ban on Facebook and Twitter<\/a>. The ban has been in place since 2009<\/a> when social media was viewed as playing a key role in fueling civil unrest.<\/p>\n

Philippines<\/strong>
\nHackers claiming to be affiliated with Anonymous defaced numerous government websites<\/a> to protest alleged government corruption. Five of the hackers were apparently arrested<\/a> later while protesting near the House of Representatives. The incident appeared to be separate<\/a> from the abovementioned attack on Australian websites by Anonymous-affiliated hackers from Indonesia.<\/p>\n
