Hackers from the Bangladesh Cyber Army are protesting against the Innocence of Muslims video by breaching three subdomains owned by the United States Department of Agriculture.

“We are BANGLADESH CYBER ARMY, the first and largest hacking group of Bangladesh! Recently, a movie was released where the Prophet of Islam, Hazrat Muhammad (Sm) was insulted,” the hackers told Softpedia in an email.

“There was a protest regarding removal of the movie. Being a cyber army of the Muslim world, we felt necessary to join the protest. As a result, we hacked a few of US Government sites. A number of normal US sites were also hacked.”

The affected domains are:
- www.morris.ars.usda.gov
- www.mrsars.usda.gov
-
ftp.mrsars.usda.gov.

“We will carry on our protest till proper justice is served!” the hacktivists concluded.

At time of writing, the subdomains were still displaying the message posted by the hackers.
