Hackers hit Web sites of House members with anti-Obama screeds



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

There was intense security at the Capitol yesterday in anticipation of the State of the Union. But, there was a vulnerability. Online security was breached. A number of House websites were hacked according to Hotline On Call:

Hackers struck at least 10 House websites overnight, substituting expletives aimed at Pres. Obama just hours after his State of the Union address.

The hackers targeted many House Dem freshmen, including Reps. Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM), Harry Teague (D-NM), John Boccieri (D-OH) and Steve Driehaus (D-OH), as well as at least 5 other more senior Dems and the site owned by GOPers on the House Oversight Committee.

"F--- OBAMA!! Red Eye CREW !!!!! O RESTO E HACKER!!! by HADES; m4V3RiCk; T4ph0d4 -- FROM BRASIL," the messages read.
