Hacker struck Winchester Army Corps of Engineers

A computer hacker who compromised a United Nations Web site in 2007 also defaced a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers server based in Winchester that year.

First reported by a computer information magazine on Friday, a hacker known by the handle “m0sted” — a 24-year-old man from Turkey, according to his YouTube page — compromised a Web page hosted on Army servers in Winchester.

M0sted’s attack simply changed the contents of the page, forcing it to redirect browsers to the hacker’s own page, which at the time contained anti-American and anti-Israeli statements. (NV Daily)
