The website of the Aeronautics Hospital of Recife (harf.aer.mil.br), which is part of Brazil’s Air Force, has been breached and defaced by Algerian hacker H3ll-dz, a member of LulzSec Philippines. 

The hacker says that the attack is part of OpBrazil, a campaign launched by Anonymous and LulzSec Philippines.

According to H3ll-dz, the site has been defaced to send a message to the Brazilian government and to the hackers from Brazil who have been launching attacks against Philippines government sites.

The hacktivists say they don’t want to start a “cyberwar,” so they urge Brazilian hackers to stop attacking websites from the Philippines.

At the time of writing, the website was still defaced. A mirror of the defacement is available here.

Earlier today, Anonymous and LulzSec Philippines defaced the official website of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao to send a message to the country’s president.
