Anti-Islamic group downs fundamentalist site

A SECURITY ORGANISATION reports that an anti-Islamic hacker group called 4nti-Muja has downed the web and email servers of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM).

Security firm mi2g said this is the first significant attempt at anti-Islamic cyberwar.

According to mi2g, HuM is linked to al-Qaeda and to terrorist attacks in Kashmir. Murdered Wall Street Journalist Daniel Pearl was investigating this organisation, it says.

The hacking message on the HuM site read: "You can change your name, but you cant hide from the 4nti-MUja. GWB and USA is comming for you. Can you say kaboom?”"

Apparently, some emails from and to HuM were also obtained, including an email from a Computerworld journalist to the organisation.

HuM claimed to have released the SQL Slammer virus that brought down the internet recently, something which Verton challenged and refuted in the exposed email.

The web site, www.harkatulmujahideen.org was down at the time of the alert, but is now back up again. µ
