Hackers have attacked the United Nations official website, forcing some sections to be taken offline.
London, Aug 13 : Hackers have attacked the United Nations official website, forcing some sections to be taken offline.
The hackers who named themselves "kerem125", "Gsy" and "M0sted" posted slogans accusing the US and Israel of killing children on pages reserved for statements from Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.
The message on the UN site said: "Hey Ysrail and Usa dont kill children and other people Peace for ever No war".
The group, who claim to hail from Turkey, also breached other pages on the site, describing their actions as a "cyberprotest".
Incidentally, groups using the same names have attacked many websites. In one message left on a travel agency site, they described themselves as "Turkish defacers".
According to a BBC report, the UN was forced to take down the affected pages for repair, but later managed to restore the Secretary General's statements.
