German police said Wednesday they have identified 106 computer users suspected of cooperating with the secretive Anonymous network to hack into the servers of a music rights agency.


Police raided homes to gather evidence against the group, HispanicBusiness reported, citing local website.


The Frankfurt prosecutor's office confirmed the report, saying 10 premises in the central state of Hesse were raided.


Spiegel Online said most of the suspects were teenagers. Police used the internet addresses of their parents to track them down.
