Chinese computer maker Lenovo has become the victim of a cyber-attack following a warning by the US government about software called Superfish.
The Superfish adware program - which offered shopping tips - was shipped on some of the company's notebook devices.
A hacking group called Lizard Squad claimed responsibility for the Wednesday attack via Twitter.
The group has taken credit for several other attacks, including one on Sony.
"One effect of this attack was to redirect traffic from the Lenovo website," Lenovo said in a statement. "We are also actively investigating other aspects.
"We are responding and have already restored certain functionality to our public-facing website."
