Thanks to DK who sent this article in this morning. Check the “Latest speeches” section in the image above.
Hackers have attacked the United Nations official website, forcing some sections to be taken offline.
Slogans accusing the US and Israel of killing children appeared on the pages reserved for statements from UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.
Other pages on the site were also breached by the group, who described their actions as a “cyberprotest”.
I read somewhere that this was due to a XSS SQL injection attack but, as of this posting I was unable to find that reference again. So, take it for what it’s worth.
Unnerving in a site with this kind of visibility.
