Hackers hit Qaeda-linked Iraq group's website
Tue 28 September, 2004 15:54

DUBAI (Reuters) - Hackers on Tuesday attacked a website of an al Qaeda-linked group that beheaded two U.S. hostages in Iraq, rerouting visitors to a page showing a penguin toting a machine-gun and warning against hosting such sites.
The site of the Tawhid and Jihad Group of al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, set up on a site providing free web hosting, last week carried a tape of British hostage Kenneth Bigley appealing for his life as well as videos of the decapitation of the two U.S. hostages.
"Host them and your next!" was the message left on the site by the hackers, calling themselves TeAmZ USA, who have already attacked several Islamist and pro-al Qaeda Web sites.
Zarqawi's group has threatened to kill Bigley next if women prisoners in Iraq are not released, but has not set a deadline.
Al Qaeda and other militant groups have widely used the internet to spread their message, often using sites providing free web hosting and frequently moving after their sites have been taken down.

Haha good. I hope these guys stay after them hot and heavy and never let up. Animals like this shouldn't have a voice at all, and these hackers are the perfect ones to make it so.

i totally agree. about time someone did this

I saw that on CNN yesterday too. Thats an awesome thing to do, provided it doesn't interfere with intelligence gathering.
You gotta figure that all incoming IP's to those boxes are kept, and traced (if they do it programatically, I'm sure they have that chunk of code).
I love to see regular folks take it to the terrorists. But I would have preferred if they had in fact hacked it, that they tweek the the box to do surveilance without the users (terrorist assholes) knowing it.
Good idea, but all they're doing is spraypainting a wall with digi-grafiti, when they could have put a low-jack on the fucktards. They missed a golden opportunity to really do something which fucks over terrorists and put a chunk of spybot code on the site.
Information 4tW, 20 minute graffiti 4tL.

Just taking down the site so it cannot spread it's hate and violent message seems to be a pretty good graffiti job, although I see your point about using it for more of it's worth, but just taking it down was sweet imo, ya know.

I wonder if the guys who hacked it could actually get prosecuted for hacking.. after all, they hacked a server of some American company that gives out webspace (I presume).
Just a little thought.. it would be very messed up if some idiot looked into it and tried to prosecute them, heh.

But I highly doubt the US will spend any money to do such a thing, in fact, I wouldn't even be surprised if it was the government who did it in the first place, under the stealth of "haxors".
