Hackers disrupt Al-Jazeera website

Hackers today replaced the English-language website of controversial Arab satellite television network Al-Jazeera with a US flag and the message Let Freedom Ring.

The hackers, calling themselves the Freedom Cyber Force Militia, briefly hijacked Internet traffic destined for Al-Jazeera’s website and redirected it to a different webpage on computers operated by Networld Connections Inc, an Internet provider in Salt Lake City.
