14 DAY TRIAL // Morrocan hacktivists are displeased with the fact that Saudi Arabia has named the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. As a result, they’ve breached and defaced one of the websites of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Health.
Hackers of a group called the Moroccan Islamic Union-Mail have targeted the moh-ncd.gov.sa website, E Hacking News reports.
The website belongs to the Public Administration for Combating Generic and Chronic Diseases. The hackers have defaced the website with a picture of a large number of people holding photographs of Mohamed Morsi, the former president of Egypt and a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
They have also posted a message in Arabic in which they explain the fact that they’ve attacked the website in response to the Saudi interior minister’s decision to include the Muslim Brotherhood on the list of terrorist organizations.
At the time of writing, the Saudi Ministry of Health website is still defaced. A mirror of the defacement is available on Aljyyosh.org.
It’s worth noting that this particular website appears to be poorly secured. It was defaced on a number of occasions in the past. For instance, Indonesian hacker Hmei7 defaced it back in January 2013. In January 2014, the website was defaced by Syrian hacktivist Dr. Sha6h.
