Religious Hacker Defaces 111 Escort Sites

An anonymous reader shares this article from Softpedia:
A religiously-motivated Moroccan hacker has defaced 111 different web sites promoting escort services since last summer as part of an ongoing protest against the industry. “In January, the hacker defaced 79 escort websites,” writes Softpedia. “His actions didn’t go unnoticed, and on some online forums where escorts and webmasters of these websites met, his name was brought up in discussions and used to drive each other in implementing better Web security. While some webmasters did their job, some didn’t. During the past days, the hacker has been busy defacing a new set of escort websites… Most of these websites bare ElSurveillance’s defacement message even today… Most of the websites are from the UK.”

His newest round of attacks replace the sites with a pro-Palestine message and a quote from the quran, though in January Softpedia reported the attacker was also stealing data from some of the sites about their users’ accounts.
