Cyberattacks related to Indiana’s controversial religious freedom law appear to be spreading.
Late Tuesday, hackers hit the website for Indiana Right to Life, a group that supports the new law.
{mosads}A Twitter user reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack with the same hashtag used to identify a campaign against other Indiana websites in the last week.
Hackers allegedly took down the Indiana state website in response to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which has been criticized by opponents as discriminatory against gays and lesbians.
In that instance, Twitter user @YourVikingdom, who purports to be based in Russia, claimed responsibility on Friday afternoon.
Mike Fichter, the head of Indiana Right to Life, called the attack on his group’s site “cowardly.”
“It’s disappointing that the level of discourse has been lowered by a party wishing to silence our voice,” Fichter said in a statement.
The page was still offline as of Wednesday afternoon.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) said Tuesday that he would ask the state legislature to clarify the intent of the law, which has been decried by major companies.
