NEW YORK (AP) - The FBI has raided homes in New York and California during a probe into the hacker group Anonymous.
In New York, FBI spokesman Jim Margolin says agents searched residences and seized computers at one address in Brooklyn and three on Long Island. He declined further comment. The raids were first reported by FoxNews.com.
In Los Angeles, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller says warrants were executed there also.
The targets of the searches were not named.
Anonymous is a loosely organized group of hackers sympathetic to WikiLeaks. It has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks against corporate and government websites around the world.
The group claims credit for disrupting the websites of Visa and MasterCard in December when the credit card companies stopped processing donations to WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange.
