Anonymous Defaces ‘White Pride’ Site

The wily hackers at Anonymous have a particular dislike of bigots, so it comes as no surprise that when they discover a high-profile “white pride” Web presence with a great big security hole, they will leave their trademark calling card, as Raw Story‘s Eric Dolan reports:

The official website of the Nationalist Movement, a white supremacist organization based in Mississippi, was defaced by “Anonymous” hackers on Friday afternoon.

The home page of the website, nationalist.org, was replaced with a message condemning facism and white power groups. The rest of the website appeared to be functioning normally.

“Greetings, fellow Anons and Citizens of the world. It has come to our attention that Fascists and white power groups across the world are causing the spread of hate and ignorance,” the message read. “A spectre is haunting the Earth, the spectre of Facism [sic].

“For long, we have seen the damage caused by the ideology of white supremacy. We have seen, and participated in, many decades of resistance to white supremacy. We, and others, will never stop fighting fascism and racism wherever it rears its head.”
