The U.S. is stepping up a search for participants in WikiLeaks-related cyber attacks on PayPal Inc. and other payment processors, raiding a Dallas company last month and coordinating a seizure of evidence with police in Germany, according to a request for a federal search warrant.
A Federal Bureau of Investigation raid of the Dallas computer server company Tailor Made Servers, which a person familiar with the case said occurred on Dec. 16, could provide investigators with information about the creators of chat rooms used by a group of WikiLeaks supporters that calls itself Anonymous. The group said it was behind more than two weeks of cyber attacks in December.
