Sarah Palin has said she is under heavy cyber attack from London-based supporters of the Wikileaks website.

Palin, a vocal opponent of Wikileaks' release of communications made by US diplomats, said in an email to ABC News that her credit card information and website were attacked by a group of hackers in London. The group, she said, was affiliated with 'Operation Payback', and had also targeted her husband's credit card.

The Palin site remains offline as of Thursday morning.

The attacks come only a week after Palin, widely tipped as a Republican candidate for US president in 2012, said the Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, should be hunted down in the way armed forces target the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.In an outburst on Facebook, Palin had branded Assange "an anti-American operative with blood on his hands".After the attack on her site, Palin wrote: "This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his [Assange's] sick, un-American espionage efforts."

This week, the same group of hackers, acting under the name 'Anonymous', also hit the domains of Visa and Mastercard, bringing the sites to a halt and hitting payments.

Details from the Wikileaks cables have been plastered all over social networking sites and newspapers for the past two weeks. The Amazon website is selling an ebook with all of the cables - even though days earlier it said it had stopped providing cloud services to Wikileaks.

A technical aide to the SarahPac website told ABC that the "DOS [denial of service] attackers, a group loosely known as Anon_Ops, used a tool called LOIC (Lower Orbit Ion Cannon) to flood arahpac.com. The attackers wanted us to know that they were affiliated with wikileaks.org through an obscure message in our server log file."

Wikileaks has sought to distance itself somewhat from the attacks. A spokesperson told the Guardian newspaper: "Anonymous ... is not affiliated with WikiLeaks. There has been no contact between any WikiLeaks staffer and anyone at Anonymous. We neither condemn nor applaud these attacks."

But the spokesperson added: "We believe [the attacks] are a reflection of public opinion on the actions of the targets."

Another Sarah Palin aide, Rebecca Mansour, said the SarahPac website was not harmed because the web team moved "quickly" to protect the site.

Imagine for a second John McCain got elected instead of Obama and then he had a heart attack. Sarah Palin would have been president of the US...truly terrifying.

[EphraimRodrigez]

@dirtydirty505 well it somehow looks like all the us presidents in the past 30 years where total idiots and dumb bitches

obama seems at least... a bit reasonable

and JFK who tried to really change something... got killed under... lets say strange conditions

the american government is a freaking scary one

@shurednichso Sorry fool, that is the truth.

[shurednichso]

The Blonde has strong points.

Would like to know her name.

@UchihaGamer111

For someone ,who cant relate to journalists with ideals -YOU- , that might be a possible conclusion.

[toofrednet]

@UchihaGamer111 You know, I reckon they damn well DESERVED to die.

[toofrednet]

@UchihaGamer111 Wow. Thanks for your insightful comments. I AM an idiot. You're right. That's exactly the same thing. Journalists, obviously unarmed and scrambling to hide for some kind of cover from their totally and clearly benign vehicle, mowed down by a closely hovering helicopter with the latest scanning and zoom technology, enormous firepower and young men brought up on Call of Duty 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. looking for baddies = wading out through mud between two rows of gunfire 90 years ago. Cool

[UchihaGamer111]

@toofrednet You people are such idiots. So if I was a journalist and ran out into no-man's land from the trench in WW1 to take a picture, and then I got killed. It wouldn't be my own damn fault for trying to profit from a warzone? War pictures aren't about showing the truth, they're about the fact pictures of dead bodies are worth more money then pictures of anything else to the news.

Isn't that the lady who played the leading lady's neurotic sister in Still Standing?
