Hackers Attack Jewish, Human Rights Web Sites

The Moscow Times
June 14, 2005

Hackers apparently acting on behalf of a radical nationalist group have targeted the web sites of Jewish, Communist Party and human rights organizations, and at least one retaliatory attack has been carried out in protest.

In the latest attack, hackers closed the anti-fascist web site Antifa.ru on Sunday, Slavic Union, a radical nationalist movement, said on its web site.

The site remained partially disabled Monday.

Hackers on Friday shut down the sites of the Moscow Helsinki Group (www.mhg.ru) and the Federation of Jewish Communities in Russia (www.jewish.ru). The Jewish site remained offline Monday.

"These people like Russians and hate everyone else, but we, human rights advocates, believe that people shouldn't be divided by nationality and religion," Moscow Helsinki Group head Lyudmila Alexeyeva said, Interfax reported.

Alexeyeva said the group would ask the Prosecutor General's Office and the human rights ombudsman to investigate the attack, in which hackers posted a statement at the top of the web site's homepage that said, "The Future Belongs to Us" and referred visitors to two nationalist web sites that belong to the Slavic Union.

"This is an action by a very powerful group of nationalist-socialist hackers," a statement on one of the sites said, urging computer experts to join an "information war."

Hackers also briefly brought down the web sites of the Communist Party's youth movement, the Union of Communist Youth, on June 1 and Sova, a human rights information center, on May 3, the two organizations said.

SecurityLab.ru, an Internet security portal, said additional politically motivated attacks were carried out in May and June, but did not identify the targeted web sites.

A group calling itself Antishare Team briefly brought down a Slavic Union web site on Friday, posting an obscenity-filled statement denouncing "fascists" on the web site's homepage.

I will be interested to see more information on the recent "infoterror" wars that have been going on. I guess we have dawned a new day and age, when digital vandalism will begin to become much more common.

It makes you wonder where it will lead to. Things like this could get pretty vicious, and it only escalates.

Oh well.

Heh, what will be next, Stormfront?

Maybe these guys could branch out into English and give some Zionist sites the kind of pain their supporters cause everyone else.

Hardly...most hosting companies make regular back-ups and defacements can be sorted out in a couple of hours thus no actual harm can be done.

This is the nth time that Da Phora is defaced and/or hacked. Last time, according to Fag Da Busher, they even hijacked his IM accounts and the domain name. The old site is still pointing to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee..

If you are refering to sites like Da Phora, I can't see the relation when its owner has stated on occasions his sympathy for Jews.

No, I am refering to things like, among others, Southern Law and Poverty which announce that they "monitor" sites they find offensive and brag about their ability to trace individuals on the internet in real time. I understand that some German based Jewish groups can also be a pain in the ass.
