400 sites defaced by 3xp1r3 Cyber Army Enlarge picture - 400 sites defaced by 3xp1r3 Cyber Army
Around 12 hours ago, the 3xp1r3 Cyber Army defaced around 400 websites after breaching a server belonging to a hosting company.

A representative of the crew has told Softpedia that although many of the sites belong to Indian organizations, the breached server is located in Canada.

According to the hacker, there isn’t a specific reason for which the sites have been defaced. They simply did it to demonstrate the lack of security measures.

One of the hackers has revealed that the team is planning to declare cyberwar on a country. They couldn’t reveal the country’s name since the final decision hasn’t been taken yet.

They also plan on releasing their own hacking forum within the next 20 days.

The complete list of affected websites - most of which are still defaced - is available here.
