An online ghetto develops between Islamists and pro-Westerns hackers. Anonymous days ago #OpCharlieHebdo began as a reaction to the terrorist attacks in Paris.
Western activists are currently trying to wipe out Muslim accounts from Twitter, as well as hit websites related to terrorism.
The anons claim their first hit with a hit against the webσελίδαs ansar-alhaqq.net, a French-language Jihad forum.
In response, Islamist hackers managed to deface several French websites. One group, calling itself the United Islamic Cyber Force, mocked them Anonymous σε διάφορες παραμορφώσεις και καλεί άλλους μουσουλμάνους hackers να συμμετάσχουν στην hacking campaign “OpFrance.”
The team United Islamic Cyber Force (uicforce) and others like FallaGa, the most organized group set up by 2013, have made significant hits on French websites.
A notable victim is the open website source εφαρμογής Notepad ++, η εξόργισε τους μουσουλμάνους hackers επειδή κυκλοφόρησε μία έκδοση του λογισμικού της που ανέφερε: “Je suis Charlie.” The website was quickly restored, but the event leaves us with many questions as the mention of a Je Suis Charlie does not offend the prophet of Islamists. We have probably reached times when freedom of speech is not a right.
Defacements are usually the online equivalent of vandalism, as the goal is the complete destruction of the website. Of course, such an attack can be much more serious if hackers "plant" malware on the website they violated.
