14 DAY TRIAL // Unknown hackers have breached the official website of Youth Defence, an Irish anti-abortion organization.
“This is not the hate-filled truth-distorting website you’re looking for,” reads a headline posted on the hacked website.
“Youth Defence is not what you think it is. Youth Defence is an extremist group who actively hide their links to shady right-wing connections and where their funding comes from. Let’s blow the lid,” the hackers wrote.
In addition to defacing the website, the hackers have also published over 5,600 email addresses that allegedly belong to the organization’s newsletter.
Youth Defence representatives name the attack “illegal and utterly pointless.” They’ve told The Journal that the breach has been reported to the police.
Currently, youthdefence.ie has been taken offline.
