Syrian Hackers Deface Anonymous' Social Network

[wraggster]

After the hacking gang Anonymous took credit for defacing Syria's Ministry of Defense website (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/faster-forward/post/anonymous-strikes-again-takes-over-syrian-defense-ministry-web-site/2011/08/08/gIQA7KpH2I_blog.html), a Syrian group retaliated on Monday by posting gruesome photos on Anonymous' embryonic social network (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9218981/Syrian_hackers_retaliate_deface_Anonymous_social_n etwork). The defacement of AnonPlus — the site Anonymous set up last month (http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/07/17/1150256/Anonymous-Creates-Its-Own-Social-Network) when it was booted off Google+ — did not include the name of the group responsible. The University of Toronto's Citizen Lab, however, credited the AnonPlus defacement to the 'Syrian Electronic Army' in a message posted to Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/citizenlab/status/100615949329235968). '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."
