Could not find any information but pingdom does now report it has down. Here is a copy of the source code of the hacked page I first saw :

The lack of respect for modern web standards and accessibility here is shocking. No alt tags? All in-line styles with no CSS? And no XHTML?

Shame on them.


saya kira orang-orang itu memang tidak butuh styles, apa yang mereka butuhkan adalah pesan dapat tersampaikan, in any language sesingkat mungkin


mowjcamp was apparently a reformist overseas-based website that was hacked in the same way.

Seems a DNS hijacking for sure.

I found no website reporting any information... Anyone?

You're calling out that a search for "indian cyber army" is performed more often than one for "iranian cyber army"?


Are you new to the Internet?


This feels like the 9/11 of internet


Who knows who it really is. Could be some random kiddies in Des Moines.


Or some random kitties in da mines.
