Socialist Party USA -- Hacked?

It appears as if Socialist Party USA's website has been hacked by anti-communist Turks. I don't know how long it'll be before it's taken down, but it's obviously pretty bad. I can't read the language, but it seems like an attack on Bolshevik communism, which is kind of ironic, since Socialist Party USA doesn't affiliate itself with communism, Bolshevism or Leninism. Odd.

Either way, enjoy.

[Dóchas]

wow they mustv been planning that for a while it seems pretty extensive and the usual anti communist pictures anre just the icing on the cake

[Revy]

Oh my god....I didn't know this happened.:ohmy:

Anti-communist hackers from Turkey hacking the website of a party that has nothing to do with any of those atrocities?

What the shit.

[Revy]

I think this may just be the beginning and they may be planning more attacks.
Ugh. Internet warriors suck :cursing:

[Die Neue Zeit]

Ignorant Turks who should have aimed more competently at "leftist" websites from their country, or Turkish Americans? :rolleyes:

[StalinFanboy]

Hahahaha

[Leo]

They do attack lots of Turkish leftist websites too.

[Die Neue Zeit]

So in other words, it's incompetence, then? :lol:

I just find it ironic, really. If they had hit the Party for Socialism and Liberation, it would've made more sense, since it's predominantly Marxist-Leninists, where Socialist Party USA is more social democratic.

[Leo]

Meh, they do these hacking shit for so much I don't think they even pay any particular attention to finding out out what the site they hacked actually are saying.

[Magdalen]

They seem to be Anti-Semites too, unsurprisingly, judging by their references to "Judeo-Bolsheviks".

[GPDP]

...fascist hackers, then?

I would've expected this out of right-wing libertarians, but not so much out of Nazis.

[KurtFF8]

Looks like it's been fixed.

We're not social democratic though. We're against capitalism. But we aren't a Leninist party though we do have Leninists, so you have a point there.

Did it have a giant ASCII rendition of a Turkish flag or something similar? I think the same "hackers" might have hit talkorigins.org.

[ZeroNowhere]

Aw, I missed it. :(
Also, fascist crackers? That's not good.

Yeah, never thought they had that kind of intellect.

Suggestion. People and organizations should always keep the master copy of their web site on their home computer, not on the host. If your web site gets modified by a hacker, you go into your FTP program, do one click to delete your entire online site, and then do one click to upload the whole thing again.

We were hacked by nationalists once.

Anti-semite =/= fascist.

Definitely. People don't like backing stuff up, unfortunately.

Yes, I remember when RL was cracked once, I can't remember what they replaced us with though.. some random anti-communist crap.. actually I think I am thinking of back when it was che-lives forums.
