Alert: Presumed Islamic Extremists Hack Knights of Holy Sepulchre website

Will Cubbedge sent the alert:

As of right now (3:42pm on Palm Sunday) it would appear that someone has hacked and uploaded insulting images onto the American website of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem.

As of 8:30pm EST, the website is still comprimised. Here is an image of what the homepage looks like:

I would recommend to not visit the website until control of it has been restored. Hackers can also upload viruses and trojans onto compromised web pages, and they might upload offensive images.

More from Will:

The pictures of the Jerusalem cross have been replaced by the face of some Muslim cleric (the Ayatollah?), and the pictures of the Cardinal Grand Master replaced by those of a donkey.

Get that? They replaced the Cardinal Grand Master's image with a picture of a donkey.

As for the phrase "al sana kardinal", I do not speak Arabic, but I was able to find that "sana" means "illustrious splendor". It would be helpful if someone could help us with an accurate translation.

Finally, it goes without saying that this is an offensive act of internet terrorism, and that because such acts are becoming more and more frequent, it is important that the culprits be brought to swift justice.

The Knights of the Holy Sepulchre should not only notify their ISP, they should notify the U.S. government.
