Poison Team, led by a hacker named Trick, seems to have left-wing agenda.
Members of the group was previously reported to have forced the right-wing organization Home Defense League to shut down their Facebook page and have carried out attacks on Gumtree site as a protest because it was purchased by auction site eBay.
Report on Blair's comments came after a hotel chain Travelodge yesterday warned customers that their data may have been stolen from the database by hackers. A spokesman for the hotel said that the third party has managed to get the names and addresses of their e-mail.
The company cautions to users of online services to be wary of spam e-mail.
