Hackers hit Hizbullah website
2004-08-09
Visitors to Hizbullah's website were surprised Monday to find themselves entering an adult site instead of Hizbullah's normal web page that is dedicated to the resistance.
"Mahmoud! That Lion of Islam's nekkid!"
The site www.hizbullah.org, was apparently attacked by hackers, who replaced the page with another one dedicated to adults - or, in other words, a "porn site."
"Wowzers! That some rocket launcher he's got!"
As of late Monday, the opening page read: "You are about to enter an adult site, click here to enter." A source working closely with Hizbullah's internet team said that they "had been getting an error message when trying to enter the page." When asked if hackers could have caused the problems, the source said "most probably not," adding that the internet team would look into the matter.

#4  hackers? nah, it's just crime syndicates these days. porn sites are big big business. the biggest expense is bandwidth, so why not use other people's?

#3  FB---good idea. We should look at sites like Hisbullah as electronic skateboard parks for crackers and hackers. Ah, the energy of youth....

#2  I would love to see more of this done. I won't hold my breath as 99.9% of these dorks that are "crackers" are LLLs'.

Hackers are programmers, crackers are internet vandals and criminals. Having had a forum I ran cracked by some punks who speak portuguese (I'll let you guess what south american country they are from) I can say it was not "Hackers."

Crackers should be encouraged to take out their script kiddie angst on more of these sites.

#1  Hizbullah.org must be the website for the "spiritual wing". Hizbullah.mil would be the official site for the "military wing".
