Qatar: Friends of Al-Jazeera Hacked

Categories: Middle East & North Africa, Qatar

The Friends of Al-Jazeera website [1] was defaced by Brazilian hackers. Instead of the familiar news stories, the site was replaced by a simple message – “SpyKids of Brazil”. As no political message was posted, it is believed that this was a random attack rather than a politically motivated hack. The site has been restored and is now back online [2].
