Summary: Yesterday, it was the pro-Assad hackers from Syrian Electronic Army who took over the US Army website, today the pro-Palestinian hackers took over US Air Force domains — Both US Army and Airforce domains were hacked two days after Obama’s call for stronger cybersecurity for Americans.
The Palestinian friendly hackers from AnonGhost hacked and defaced two subdomains of the US Air Force earlier today. The targeted domains belong to Profession of Arms Center of Excellence (PACE) and Professional Development Guide of the US Air Force.
Hackers left a deface page along with a message on both hacked websites, calling US and Israeli Army “Children killers.”
“You supported Israel to kill innocent Palestinian in Gaza strip bombings houses and mosques, arresting and killing innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan using media propaganda to justify your lies and your corrupt act.. now it’s our time to react.”
A full preview of the deface page is available below:
Hackers also claim to have access to site’s database. However, it is unclear if they have access to any sensitive data.
