Police ask for power to hit terrorist websites
Chief UK police officers are asking the government for new powers that would allow them to attack terrorist websites.
The list of recommendations does not detail how police would attack websites but in many cases remotely disabling a web server involves a denial of service attack (i.e. sending floods of data to overwhelm it). Police added that the measure would help police stop the spread of child abuse images on the web.
The ACPO statement said: "This power has significant benefits for counter terrorism and overlaps with other police priorities namely domestic extremism and paedophilia. This issue goes beyond national borders and requires significant international co-operation. The need for appropriate authority and warranty is implicit."
