A Saudi hacker going with the handle of Dr.SHA6H has hacked and defaced the official website of United States Embassy in New Zealand (blogs.newzealand.usembassy.gov) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization New Zealand UNESCO (www.unesco.org.nz).
The hacked United States Embassy site is actually its blog (http://blogs.newzealand.usembassy.gov/ambassador) ran by David Huebner, US ambassador to New Zealand.
Both websites were targeted on 28th August 2013, left with a deface page along with a message and YouTube video. The deface message talks about ongoing conflict in Syria, expressed in following words:
