SALT LAKE CITY — A group of computer hackers protesting the shutdown of a popular file-sharing service have attacked the website for the Utah Chiefs of Police.

The Deseret News reports utahchiefs.org remains out of service today after it was targeted by people associated with “Anonymous.”

The group is a loose affiliation of hackers that also shut down the websites for the U.S. Justice Department and music companies.
