Hackers take down 15 Lebanese government websites

A group calling itself "Raise Your Voice" hacked into 15 Lebanese government websites on Tuesday, demanding an improvement in living standards and an end to widespread electricity and water shortages. 

Lebanon's economy has grown strongly in recent years but that growth has failed to translate into improvements in basic public services and infrastructure. Many people blame corruption and political wrangling for poor services and high prices.

"We will not stop until the standards of living are raised to where they should be in Lebanon," said a message from the group, posted on the Ministry of Justice website. The text was accompanied by a cartoon of an obese man in a suit, symbolising the government, being fed with a spoon by an emaciated man wearing only a white loincloth, representing the Lebanese people.
