POLITICO – Childers Web site hacked
Hackers infiltrated the websites of dozens of House members overnight, replacing their usual pages with attacks on President Barack Obama.
According to a spokesman for the cybersecurity office for the House, 49 sites were affected, and all are served by a third-party vendor outside the “firewall” provided by the Capitol’s own services.
On each of the hacked sites, the usual material was replaced by a white screen and the words: “F— OBAMA!! Red Eye CREW !!!!! O RESTO E HACKER !!! by HADES; m4V3RiCk; T4ph0d4 — FROM BRASIL.”
The website for Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee was hit, as were the home pages of Reps.
