SYDNEY, April 13, 2015 (AFP) - An Australian airport website was offline Monday after being taken over by pro-Islamic State hackers who published messages supporting the extremist group.
Police said hackers appeared to have targeted the web host used by the Hobart International Airport in Tasmania and not the facility itself, and no direct threats were made. "A message placed on the site contained a statement supporting ISIS," Tasmanian police said in a statement, using another acronym for the radical group commonly known as IS.
