In the wake of speculation over who is responsible for the terrorist attacks on the US, hackers have defaced the Afghan Taleban Mission to the UN website.
The header to the index page for taleban.com now reads: "Own3d by RyDen", and it would appear that the site is well and truly 'owned' by the hacker. First defaced in March, this is the third time in six months that RyDen has posted a 'hacktivist' attack on the Taleban site.
In March, he broke into the IIS5 box and posted the simple message: "Hacked-by-RyDen--Greetings-from-Russia." But since then he has been back to write: "Can you find other ways for your progress except sale drugs?No, you can't .STOP SUPPORT CHECHEN TERRORISTS ,STOP SALE DRUGS."
The defacement is still available at www.taleban.com.
