Turkish hacker group diverts users away from high-profile websites
A Turkish hacker group diverted traffic to a number of high-profile websites including the Telegraph, UPS, Betfair, Vodafone, National Geographic, computer-maker Acer and technology news site the Register on Sunday night, putting unwary users at risk of having passwords, emails and other details stolen.
Industry experts warned people not to log into sites such as Betfair because their details could be stolen.
Some people viewing the sites thought that they had been hacked directly, with the sites appearing to show a message in Turkish by a group called Turkguvenligi, who last month carried out a similar attack on a Korean company.
