Religious Hacker Defaces 111 Escort Sites (softpedia.com)

An anonymous reader shares this article from Softpedia: A religiously-motivated Moroccan hacker has defaced 111 different web sites promoting escort services since last summer as part of an ongoing protest against the industry. "In January, the hacker defaced 79 escort websites," writes Softpedia. "His actions didn't go unnoticed, and on some online forums where escorts and webmasters of these websites met, his name was brought up in discussions and used to drive each other in implementing better Web security. While some webmasters did their job, some didn't. During the past days, the hacker has been busy defacing a new set of escort websites... Most of these websites bare ElSurveillance's defacement message even today... Most of the websites are from the UK."
His newest round of attacks replace the sites with a pro-Palestine message and a quote from the quran, though in January Softpedia reported the attacker was also stealing data from some of the sites about their users' accounts.

    Maybe ElSurveillance needs to stop worrying about escort websites and instead needs to focus on girls being kidnapped, raped, and sold into effective sexual slavery by ISIS/ISIL operatives. Or does that fit his agenda?

    Hmmm, we have the words "Moroccan," "Quran," "religious," "pro-Palestine" . . . something seems to be missing ..

    I'm not
    Sure if something was
    Left out of the story.
    All I know is something seems to be
    Missing from the discussion.

    I wonder if there is a reason for the abstraction and missing element? I'm pretty sure if the hacker was Christian that would have been mentioned.

    It really doesn't matter. Too much religion of any flavor is a bad thing. I leave it to you to define "too much". My definition is "any".

    Then they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him in order to trap Him in a statement. They came and said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not? “Shall we pay or shall we not pay?” But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at.” They brought one. And He said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” And they said to Him, “Caesar’s.” And Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they were amazed at Him. -- Mark 12:13-17

    I'm pretty sure that if you inspect the chain of ownership and custody for the atomic bombs used to attack Japan that you will find it entirely in "Caesar's" hands, not the church. The official that ordered the bombing was the President of the United States acting in his capacity as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States of America rather than the Pope, the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, or any minister acting as head of a church or congregation. The plans for their use were created and executed by the armed forces, not by deacons and church choirs, or the Sunday School classes. The purpose of dropping the bomb was to end the war between the United States of American and its allies versus the Empire of Japan, not to force Japan to convert to another religion or live under religious law that has no effect in the United States.

    In Christianity the church and state are separate, under Islam they are united.

    You fail to understand these points at your peril.

    You're confusing atheism with politics.
