The official website of embassy of Nepal in Washington was hacked by a group of Moroccan hacker not happy with American invasion of Iraq and what happened afterwards.
On Sunday 24th May, a group of hackers going with the handle of Moroccan Islamic Union-Mail (MIUM) hacked and defaced the official website of Embassy of Nepal for the United States.
The visitors on the site looking for visa information were welcomed with a deface page uploaded by hackers containing a message against the United States and its soldiers who died during Iraq war.
In an exclusive conversation with hackers, HackRead was told that reason for targeting Nepal embassy site is that due to earthquake Nepal is in the news and it’s right time to deliver out message.
“This way it will be easy for us to deliver our message around the world.”
The deface message was expressed in following words:
“Iraq is the Cemetery of American … hello to the death that awaits you at the hands of the Mujahideen in Iraq.”
A full preview of the deface page is available below:
