Dallas PD computers hacked by "anti-American" hacker

Source: Fox 4 Dallas

DALLAS -- The Dallas Police Department Web site was shut down Monday night after a hacker took over the site with anti-American rants.

Whoever hacked into the site also posted a doctored photograph showing American troops watching over four people lined up against a wall. Each of the four prisoners had lines leading away from their faces to individual head shots of President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Sen. John McCain, according to a local television station.

"My understanding is that no internal police data has been affected," police spokesman Lt. Vernon Hale said.

Hale said the department's technology staff will work to get the site back up. He said he was unaware of hackers ever taking over the site before.

it showed direct links between the prisoners and each Bushite,with a legend(although I couldn't read the words)..Bush,et al were numbered 1-4.I was curious to see if anyone else had experienced this in their community.NOTHING about it today.

4. Stupid Fox Headline, " Dallas Police Web Site Taken Over by Hacker's Anti-American Rant"

Fuck you, Faux News.

I hope Rupert Murdcoch dies a slow, painful and humiliating death in public of some sort.

7. Happened to a local community college not long ago

Columbia College in Sonora California. Their site was hacked by some script kiddies from Turkey who posted all kinds of anti-American stuff on there.
