Hacker attack on Newsit

A victim of hackers fell shortly before the well-known, high-traffic news site of Nikos Evangelatos, Newsit

Newsit.gr is among the most visited 10 pages in Greece, which makes it a high profile target.

The hackers altered it main site of the Newswitch portal, placing an image of Antonis Samaras together with a message that referred to closed ones και κλειστά σπίτια. To Screenshot της is shown below:

The attack took place around 00:30 to 01:00 on Sunday morning, while discussions on the subject have already ignited on Twitter.

Attack was accepted even in the morning and the ISKRA website as we have said our related article [here]

The management team seems to be trying to bring it back in good working order until this time. The attack methodology used by the hackers to achieve the alteration remains unknown so far.

Impression is due to the fact that no one has taken responsibility with a message, while the hacker who has achieved the impressive admittance sign is signing as "LamogioHunt3r", ie "Lamont Hunter", a pseudonym that has not been used in the past in a similar assault.

The website, although for many at the moment it looks repaired, periodically restores the image of the alteration due to caching that appears to be performed by services such as Akamai and Proxy of mobile phone companies.

The attack took place a few hours before the polls opened for the referendum.
