Ohio Government Websites Hacked With Pro-Islamic State Messages (bloomberg.com)
An anonymous reader quotes Bloomberg:
The websites of Ohio Governor John Kasich and other state government agencies were hacked on Sunday with a posting professing love for the jihadist group Islamic State. Ten state websites and two servers were affected, and they've been taken off line for an investigation with law enforcement into how the hackers were able to deface them, said Tom Hoyt, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Administrative Services... The same pro-Islamic State message, accompanied by music, were also shown on Sunday on the website of Brookhaven, a town on New York's Long Island about 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Manhattan, the New York Post reported... Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2018, posted on Facebook that the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction website had been hacked and said, "Wake up freedom-loving Americans. Radical Islam infiltrating the heartland."
We will destroy all infidelds! :we respect your religious differences and welcome you to our country. want some free shit?
Sharia law will now be implemented. Death to the infidels!
Seriously, if you're worried about anything infiltrating the heartland, try Meth-heads and opiates from whatever pharmacy they have there.
This is why I own guns and have a carry permit. If any of those motherfuckers come near me, I'll ventilate them. ISIS don't want none of what I've got to give.
They are so pathetic now, they had armies, weapons, even an income.... now they are all but ghosts; now the only way to get some attention is to hack websites...
Their message is lost, their mission is a failure... all they have now is some semblence of hope those virgins that they were promised... arent male!
It's not a typo if you understood the meaning!
Doesn't anyone find that odd? Describing the U.S. as "heartland?" It sounds more like a conservative hacker pretending to be a stereotype to start something. Reminds me of one of the truck driver hostage videos about 5-6 years ago (may have been longer than that). Days, maybe weeks, of capture and the guy was cleanly shaven and in full marine gear, including his Oakley sunglasses. You can't YouTube that stuff anymore, and I don't think it's a coincidence either. A paradigm shifts towards the other half of a dichotomy brought by hate and now, the legitimacy of those things start to be questioned. I'll get down voted or flagged out of existence, but at least think about the first part of what I said before it does. Heartland? Give me a break.
"...Josh Mandel, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2018, posted on Facebook that the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction website had been hacked and said, "Wake up freedom-loving Americans. Radical Islam infiltrating the heartland.""
Wake up freedom loving Americans, Douchebag trying to infiltrate the Senate in 2018.
This is only meant to embarrass the current party in power. Any attempt by them to deflect the blame is pathetic. The idiots are in charge!
Free bacon for every raghead!
In order to get new funding to fight the Terrorists?
Or will it all be tracted back to a Trump supporter/support group or to some of the few remaining Hillary fans?
Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of 'The USA Adventure' (Rated PG)
Reeks of false flag. Inside job. XYZ agency operatives. Gives government reason for international "kill switch."
Except for two Pan Am flights, shelter for dozens of other terrorist groups, and their continued harassment of US forces in other ways. If Bush the Elder hadn't been so incompetent as to let Hussein invade Kuwait, he probably would have started a war with Libya instead.
The fact is, the only person that liked Q-ball was Donald Trump, but there is no point in mourning a dead dictator.
Were the sites running WordPress?
The sites were probably running WordPress. /me runs away
I'd really like to see Slashdot readers try to defend their hypocrisy. I won't even bring up the apologists who defend Islam, which is responsible for numerous terror attacks, while slamming Christianity, which is generally not associated with violence. In this post, I'm objecting to labeling anyone who criticizes Islam as a racist while encouraging racism against Indians.
Let's say you want to subject Muslims to enhanced screening before they board aircraft, because Muslims have committed acts of terror on commercial aircraft in recent history. Intelligence also indicates that Muslim terror groups still want to attack commercial aircraft. Furthermore, nobody is born a Muslim; people choose to be Muslim and can change at any time. Well, that enhanced screening is racist and anyone who supports that is a racist.
Let's say you don't like H-1B tech workers from India, who simply want to have a good salary and work for American companies. Let's say you want to kick them out of the United States and send of them back to India. Well, that's not racist at all. In fact, it's encouraged.
My post will quickly be censored to -1 to avoid addressing this hypocrisy, but it absolutely needs to pointed out. I predict that Slashdot readers will be too cowardly to address my observation.
Agreed. Let's get Watson on this. (Hey, someone back there set up a Skype call with Watson. Yes, he's done bleaching his skin, just do it, get him on Skype!) Sorry about that.

In all honesty though, could be a government psyop. Wouldn't be the first time.
Well "States Rights" crowd should be hopping up to defend Ohio's new stance from the Federalists soon
State messages that are pro Islamic. That's literally what the headline is saying.
Grab your guns! Panic in the streets! The Islams are coming!
As long as there is still some official democracy, they dont have full control. They need us to surrender our last vestiges of democracy to complete the job. With the free press under their control, the internet is all we have left.
That's what we're supposed to cheer on, right?
That's just what a Russian would say.
Right Boris, it's time for another little test. This time we'll blame it on ISIS and see how much they freak out.
OK Anna, I've selected Ohio, 10 targets ready, freak out meter currently at local normal.
I first read about this on Bloomberg; so I came here to find out about it. I was expecting to hear that it was running a Drupal CMS and that they hadn't done security updates. But all I get is this crap.
They're probably hosting the sites on an insecure Linux/Apache server. If they were running a Windows IIS server, this wouldn't have happened.
What did Ohio ever do to anyone? I can understand Washington or New Jersey, but Ohio?
Human Rights, Article 12: Freedom from Interference with Privacy, Family, Home and Correspondence
mohammed jihad. Which is all these idiots ever say anyway. F islam, mohammed's bones are dust.
Corporatism != Free Market
Trump supporters have been telling us all along that the Russian hacks that attempted to interfere with the election didn't matter and we shouldn't waste time and resources on investigation. I'm 'sure they'll agree that this is even less important and warrants no further investigation or preventative measures.
You're going to jail, Bernie.
How amusing.
Not even sure what I am reading is even factual and true.
I'm surprised how few /. readers stop to consider that this could just be some teenage hackers defacing "4 the lulz". Have we already forgotten about groups like Anonymous in favor of the latest sensationalist headline?
False statement.
False rebuttal.
2010 Taimour Abdulwahab blew a car and himself up in Stockholm. Born in Baghdad, Iraq.
Moved to Sweden before age 10 and was naturalized in 1992.
2015 Abraham Ukbagabir stabbed two Swedes to death at IKEA after not being granted asylum, born in Eritrea.
As you wrote, he was denied asylum and was scheduled for deportation. Furthermore the attack was within hours of being denied asylum. That's not terrorism, that's an angry asshole acting out.
2017 Rakhmat Akilov drew a truck through people in Stockholm, born in Uzbekistan.
Another guy rejected for asylum and under a deportation order.
I think you need to try again, Mr/Ms AC SJW dishonest lying fuck-face.
To recap your three examples: one was a child when he came to europe, the other two were being deported and one of those was just angry about being deported. I'm not the one being intellectually dishonest here. But I am a fuck-face, just ask your mother, she can't get enough of it when I eat her out.
Furthermore, nobody is born a Muslim;
Nope. A little google searching:
Muslim children follow their Muslim parents. Hence the one who has two Muslim parents is deemed to be a Muslim, so he may inherit or be inherited from, and if he dies he is to be washed and buried, the funeral prayer is to be offered for him and he is to be buried in the Muslim graveyard. And in the Hereafter he will be one of the people of Paradise, according to scholarly consensus.
The Shaafa‘i scholar an-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The one whose parents, or one of them, are Muslim is also regarded as a Muslim with regard to rulings concerning the hereafter and worldly matters. End quote from Sharh Muslim, 16/208
The Hanbali scholar Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The child follows his parents in both realms (i.e., this world and the hereafter). If the parents are of different religions, then he must follow the one who is Muslim, such as the child of a Muslim man from a kitaabi (i.e., Jewish or Christian) woman. End quote from al-Mughni, 10/91.
...people choose to be Muslim and can change at any time. .
Nope. Once one is a Muslim, leaving Islam is defined as apostasy, and in most Muslim countries, is punishable by death.

I disagree with prejudice and discrimination against Muslims, or against anybody on the basis of their religion, but that's not reason to underplay how oppressive the religion is.
Exactly. Donald TRUMP likely PAYED OFF the Russians to do this. Who else would be so evil?
Things a Russian might say to throw you off the scent, no 853. See how this works?
"Wake up freedom-loving Americans. Radical Islam infiltrating the heartland."
Yeah! This is radical Christianity territory!
These guys are toast. They didn't licence the music properly.
You're right that the LRA is a huge deal, and you may be right that right-wing extremism is a real factor in the USA. (Even the left is getting violent these days.) Speaking of my own England though, our terror tends to be the Islamic variety.
Every time there's a violent incident in the west, we all wait to find the ideology behind it, and if it's Islam, it's labelled "terrorism" and if it's not, it's labelled "a nut job."
Go ahead and list for me the UK terrorist incidents which the oh-so-racist media have been denying.
The British media were falling over themselves to refer to the Finsburys incident as terrorism, precisely because non-Islamist terror is such a break form the norm here.
When it's a Christian attacking, you move to "as far as we know he wasn't motivated by his own religion."
You're assuming that because we're talking about a white British male, he must be Christian. As far as I can tell, we're not really sure what religion he held, if any. Britain being Britain, the odds are pretty good that he's non-religious.
Anyway, about the assumption you describe: pretty much, yes, because it generally isn't the case. Here in England, we really don't have a problem with Christianity-inspired violence.
Of course, jihadists aren't normally quiet about their motivations. We can be quite certain the Borough Market attackers were religiously inspired, as they were shouting about it at the time.
Do you take the same attitude of examining the details of their religion and saying it's not terrorism when it is an attack by a Muslim motivated by "a mad hatred of all Christians"?
I wasn't clear here, but I'm not denying that the Finsbury incident counts as terrorism. The fact that I referred to him as a nutter doesn't mean I'm denying that it's an act of terrorism -- of course it's terrorism. I'll gladly use 'nutter' to refer to the men who committed the Borough Market attack, too.
Anyway, sure -- not every terrorist act committed by a muslim has to pertain to Islamism.
That doesn't mean I'm a racist imperialist who's just making assumptions, though. Again, jihadists don't leave us to figure out their motivations; we're talking about people who go on the rampage screaming about how it's for their god.
That's another example of biased data taking-- so, apparently, wherever you live, attacks on Muslims aren't news, while attacks by Muslims are.
'Apparently'? What? You've not presented any relevant numbers here. Hypothesising an epidemic of anti-muslim violence isn't the same as demonstrating that one both exists, and is being systematically ignored by the mainstream media.
Left-leaning media like the Guardian and BBC are not shy to report anti-muslim violence. There's little lethal violence in that category, at least in the UK.
Shame on you for making Muslims look bad. Nice try. Pick someone else, cowards.
Absolutely. Someone from Over There got into this country, snuck into the OH governor's mansion when no one was looking, and installed his own Web pages.
And then snuck out, with no one the wiser.
Historically, in Britain the vast majority of terror attacks have been religiously motivated by Christian sects, primarily the IRA and affiliated groups, and the Ulster Defence Association/Ulster Freedom Fighters and affiliated groups.
Maybe they should have used some sort of hosts file engine or something
What that won't do jack against a real attacker, that must be all lies
Maybe you can have an Intel rant that might work
If all those fail there is always: threats of violence, name calling, swearing, posting replies to yourself, quoting people out of context, linking to your old comments, pretending you are in a movie, bitching about fake names and AC posts, poor grammar, or reliving your glory days when Win95 was new.
Holy shit! Three yelling, screaming response dripping with xenophobic animus.
Triggered much?
