Hackers of the Afghan Cyber Army have breached and defaced the official website of the Syrian Investment Agency (sia.gov.sy). The attackers have added their defacement page to a subfolder of the site.

The hackers say they’ve targeted the Syrian government website in support of their “brothers in Syria who fight for freedom.”

“O people of Syria, if you want we sacrifice our souls for you, and I say to all Mujahedeen brothers generally and to the Mujahedeen of Jabhat-Ul-Nasrah specifically: may Allah bless you in your Jihad and sacrifices and may Allah benefit through you,” the hackers said.

“Victory has become successive and the structure of Islam is now high and mighty. Hold your sword and fight those who have transgressed. With your machine gun enter the battlefield,” they wrote next to a picture of Bashar al-Assad, the president of Syria.

At the time of writing, the defacement page is still present on sia.gov.sy. A mirror of the SIA defacement is available on Th3mirror.com.
