IS ‘supporters’ ‘Cyber Caliphate’ hack Malaysia Airlines website with help of Lizard Squad
The Malaysia Airlines (MAS) website was apparently hacked Monday morning by a group calling itself “Cyber Caliphate”. The home page of the website briefly showed a image of Malaysian Airlines Airbus A380, with the words “404 – Plane Not Found” and claimed to be hacked by Cyber Caliphate with two Twitter accounts of @umgrobert and @umg_chris as their contacts.
However the system admin of Malaysian Airlines seem to have restored the website but only for a brief moment. Soon the hackers hacked the website again and replaced the earlier Airbus A380 image with the infamous Lizard Squad’s image and mentioning the name of Lizard Squad. Lizard Squad has also acknowledged that it was behind the hacking of Malaysian Airlines website.
