The hackers from Bangladesh Gray Hat hacking group have hacked and defaced 22 top SriLankan government owned websites.
While scrolling Zone-h, I got hold of recent cyber attack on SriLankan government conducted by Bangladeshi hackers. The hackers left their deface message on all the hacked websites which displays protest against the anti-Islamic movie ‘Innocence of Muslims’ that was uploaded on YouTube by an American director couple of months ago.
According to the message deface message:

This video was deliberately release not to bring peace and unity but to cause upset and insult among Muslims around the world…Islam equals peace and peace is what Muslims around the world want, but we are continually denied this through this type of provocation.
We have hacked your site, not for sabotage, but to show solidarity for Muslim brothers & sisters around the world and to teach you the real message of Islam!!
