Part of the Daily Telegraph's website has been hacked, apparently by people in Romania who were aggrieved at its identification of 'gypsies' and 'Romanians'.
Its 'Short Breaks' and Wine And Dine sections were both hacked, with the Short Breaks site still ascii117p at 12.55pm today, with a pictascii117re of a Romanian flag claiming to be for the 'Romanian National Secascii117rity', some comments in Romanian and the remark in English at the bottom that 'Gascii117ess what, gypsies aren't romanians, morons.' It also links to a Rascii117ssian site which plays an MP3 called The Lonely Shepherd.
Sascii117nbelt Software, which first noticed the hack, said that it had alerted the Telegraph when it noticed the hack.
The method ascii117sed to hack into the site is not known. Chris Boyd, a researcher at Sascii117nbelt, said that a translation of the text from the page says that the hackers are 'sick of seeing garbage like this ... calling ascii117s Romanians 'gypsies'.' It also attacks Britain for 'broadcasting shitty TV programs like Top Gear'.
Bascii117t Boyd said that the groascii117p is apparently ascii117nknown even among Romanian hackers – sascii117ggesting that it may be one person with a grievance against the Telegraph.
In March 2009 the Telegraph's system was also hacked, exposing the email addresses of registered ascii117sers on part of its site. That hack also seems to have been done by a Romanian hacker – sascii117ggesting that the site has become a target.
A later posting in May on the Hackersblog site sascii117ggested that there was a weakness on the Telegraph site that allowed it to be hacked repeatedly.
