BMPoC, the group of hackers who hacked a total of 15 NASA websites back in September in protest against the NSA spying on Brazil, is back. Now, they’ve targeted several subdomains of Brazil’s Air Force (aer.mil.br).

According to HackRead, the attack was carried out by Baader Meinhof, one of the members of BMPoC.

The list of affected domains includes cemal.aer.mil.br, tita.aer.mil.br, seripa2.aer.mil.br, oarf.aer.mil.br, hfab.aer.mil.br and dti.aer.mil.br. The sites were hacked on Sunday. However, at the time of writing, they’ve all been restored.

On the defaced sites, the hacker posted a protest message against the Brazilian government. He also urges people not to use social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter because they’re used to spread lies.

Baader Meinhof’s zone-h.org account shows that he has breached a total of 19 Brazilian military and government subdomains since August 10, 2013.
