Anonymous has reportedly taken down at least 97 key websites in Japan, as part an anti-whaling campaign.
The hacktivists have been targeting a variety of organisations including aquariums, news platforms and government offices since September.
According to the National Policy Agency, these attacks have been intensifying with hackers using a technique known as "distributed denial of service" (DDos) where a site is disabled by overloading it with traffic.
Japanese broadcaster, NHK, reported that police are warning organisations to backup their sites ahead of the Ise-Shima summit in May next year.
