Idaho Angler Website Hacked

Got this letter this morning:

Idaho Angler
January 18, 2010

We would like to let our customers know that the company that hosts our website (Network Solutions), has had some security issues this morning, and as a result, our website has been temporarily defaced by an anti-American organization.  After speaking with Network Solutions this morning, they have advised that they are working as quickly as possible to correct this problem, and develop a solution to have this content removed from our web address. We would like our customers to know that we utilize Network Solutions only for the hosting of our website.  Absolutely no personal customer information is stored on Network Solutions’ servers. We are working with Network Solutions as quickly as possible to have this problem resolved, and regain control of our website.

Thank you.

Your friends,

The Idaho Angler

It appears the hackers have a pro-Palistanian and anti-Israel bent.  It is a mystery why someone from, or who cares about the Middle East would target a retail store’s fly fishing website.  I mean, it doesn’t seem like an appropriate audience to persuade one way or another.

But, we know the Middle East is the birthplace of many of the world’s great religions, and when Jesus got started he brought on two fishermen named Peter and Andrew.
