Syrian hackers retaliate, deface Anonymous' social network
Counters Anonymous' earlier sabotage of nation's Ministry of Defense site
Computerworld - After the hacking gang Anonymous took credit for defacing Syria's Ministry of Defense website, a Syrian group today retaliated by posting gruesome photos on Anonymous' embryonic social network.
The defacement of AnonPlus -- the site Anonymous set up last month when it was booted off Google+ -- did not include the name of the group responsible.
The University of Toronto's Citizen Lab, based at the Munk School of Global Affairs, however, credited the AnonPlus defacement to the "Syrian Electronic Army" in a message posted to Twitter.
"In response to your hacking to the website of the Syrian Ministry of Defence, the Syrian people have decided to purify the internet of [y]our pathetic website," the defacement read.
The Syrian Electronic Army has been linked to defacements of sites that have posted content critical of the Syrian regime, which has been blasted by the U.S. for its brutal crackdown on anti-government protests.
