Iraqi Hacker Hacks the Official GPGPU Website

A few hours back, when I opened the official GPGPU site, something strange happened. Instead of the usual clean homepage (yeah, i do admire the site) full of resources, I saw this (see image above). A black webpage claiming that some Iraqi hacker named Ahmed Ali has hacked into the official GPGPU website. Initially, i thought, someone is playing a prank on Lan, or it is something on my computer. I went to my friend’s computer and then opened the site from there, and omg! .. this was there too. We immediately googled for GpuGpu and found that the cache was intact. This meant that, the hacker had indeed recently broken into the site.

Trying to get some info about this person, we visited the link suggested by him through proxy, but it seems the webpage doesn’t exist. But in the end it is a sad news for the scientific community at large that a plain hacker could so easily break into such a reputed worldwide forum, tampering the homepage, and perhaps with the sensitive data too.
