The official website of Wawa (wawa.com), the US convenience store and gas station chain, has been breached by UGNazi. The hackers defaced the site’s main webpage so users who wanted to access it were met by a screen that featured hackers’ logo and their names.

“We did this not only for the fame but for the lulz and the fact that Wawa has scorching high gas prices and receives many complaints daily,” Cosmo, one of the UGNazi hackers, told us.

He claims that they’ve gained access to the websites entire database, but they haven't found anything valuable to leak.

The site has been defaced for around 6 hours, but at the moment it is restored.

The controversial hacker collective has been highly active lately. They even developed their own distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) tool, dubbed The Holocaust, which they tested on sites such as cia.gov, hostgator.com, and many others.
