The official website of FENADEPOL (fenadepol.org.br), Brazil’s National Federation of Federal Chief Police Officers (Federação Nacional Dos Delegados De Policia Federal), has been hacked and defaced by Morpheus, a member of Brazil HackTeam.

“When the savages of Louisiana want to reap a fruit, they cut the tree down and catch it. Behold the despotic government,” the hacker wrote in Portuguese on the defaced website.

The defacement page also displays a caricature of Brazilian President Dilma Vana Rousseff.

The attack against the FENADEPOL took place a few hours ago. The hackers defaced all the site’s pages. It’s also worth noting that the website has a login section, which might mean the attackers have gained access to usernames and passwords.

At the time of writing, the website has not been restored by its administrators.
