British Hackers Take Down Al-Qaeda Websites
A group of British hackers today took down al-Qaeda's communication network and websites, preventing the terrorist organization from posting online messages and videos.
The hacks started a few days ago and they have temporarily crippled al-Qaeda's Internet influence. These attacks on al-Qaeda are reminiscent of similar attacks the group suffered earlier this month when British intelligence officers replaced the group's instructions on how to make bombs with cupcake recipes. Who says the British aren't funny?
Experts expect al-Qaeda to get its websites back under control within the next few days, but also commented that these hackers were obviously well coordinated and used some highly sophisticated techniques in taking the sites down.
