On July 25, 2015, we reported how a group of Morrocan hackers hacked and defaced the official domains of Google, Microsoft and Kaspersky Labs all three designated for Morocco.
Now, a group of Bangladeshi hackers have done the same by defacing Google and MSN domains designated for the Pitcairn Islands.
Hackers left a deface page along with a message on the hacked domains, but the reason for targeting these domains was not mentioned anywhere.
“Google Pitcairn Island hacked by Tiger M@te & Surg4bij4k. Bangladesh to Indonesia, we own it all.”
A full preview of the deface page left by hackers on Google Pitcairn Islands is available below:

Hackers do like to play with security flaws that can interrupt service of any famous platform. This one is similar to a DNS hijacking case in February that disrupted access to Google’s Vietnam homepage.
Links of targeted domains along with their zone-h mirrors as a proof of hack are available below:

In past, Tiger M@te was behind the hacking of Google, Google Images, YouTube, Yahoo Malaysia and Google Kenya.
