[blingbling]

Glad you got that image 'cause it's gone already.

[James_F]

Its been going back and forth. It looks like two rival groups are fighting over it... :eek:

[md_paul]

This is cool...

Did they hack both websites, or just the english one?

[James_F]

The other one was moved to one of those sites where GATOR trys to install itself... :bang

[Nick]

Hmmmmm! So that's where that errant Tomohawk missile went.

Sorry 'bout dat, fellas. :shrug:

[Dgenx321]

[firephoto]

Oh darn.

;)

I was waiting for the geeks to rise up and join in. :lol:

Those "Denial of Service" attacks are brutal and there is nothing that Al-Jazeera can do to stop them. It's analogous to a moab going off in the server. If it's being done by multiple hackers, then AJ is going to have some serious problems.

Too bad AJ broadcast has not been hijacked. Imagine the psychological warfare that could be performed. They could show Saddam captured and surrendering.

Al-Jazeera Web site faces continued hacker attacks
Thursday March 27 2:13 PM ET


Hacker attacks continued to plague the Web site of Arab satellite TV network al-Jazeera on Thursday, as cyber-vandals replaced the news site with a stars-and-stripes logo saying "Let Freedom Ring."

Both the Arabic site, at (http://www.aljazeera.net), and the English-language version at (http://english.aljazeera.net) could not be accessed on Thursday. Users who tried to log onto the site found a message that read, "Hacked by Patriot, Freedom Cyber Force Militia" beneath a logo containing the U.S. flag.

"This broadcast was brought to you by: Freedom Cyber Force Militia," the site said. "God bless our troops!!!"

[Nick]

Are the Al Jezeera hackers really working for the CIA/DIA?
Are we going to see "Cyber Wars" retaliation?
Is Gary Hart behind Congress's attempt to regulate the Internet?
What does Monica Lewinski know about blowing up Iraqi TV?
Is Geo. Bush 1 behind the scenes pulling the strings?

These are questions Roger wants to know. Just thought I'd post 'em first and give him a rest. :rolleyes:

[BobMurdoch]

Thanks for that public service.

Hey too bad these hackers don't speak arabic. They could be attacking them through the internet as the US has blown up every other means of communications.

I don't see this "hack" accoplishing anything. From what I heard, it wasn't a hack at all, just social engineering.
