Hip Hop Sites Hacked By Apparent Hate Group
Quote:
Hip-hop Web sites SOHH.com and AllHipHop.com were forced to temporarily suspend access to their sites on Friday (June 27) after being targeted this week by an apparent hate group.
Both companies' sites were hacked, and instead of the usual hip-hop related news articles and feature stories, readers were shocked to find fake headlines and obviously photoshopped pictures saturated with racial slurs and other offensive terms; the hackers also stole personal information about employees of SOHH.com. A group or individual going by the name "Anonymous" has claimed responsibility.
SOHH was first infiltrated earlier this week on its forum pages and shut itself down on Friday; AllHipHop.com also had its forums compromised. AllHipHop was back up on Friday afternoon, with a redirect containing an error message and apology.
SOHH CEO Felicia Palmer, who was attacked with derogatory comments by the hackers, released a statement Friday saying that she and the company were working diligently to solve the problem and have been in contact with authorities.
"It appears that hackers are specifically targeting Black, Hispanic, Asian and Jewish youth who ascribe to hip-hop culture," the statement read. "Other websites, including AllHipHop and DatPiff[.com's] forums have also been compromised or threatened this week. ... Also, as this is an international issue, it is being addressed by the FBI and the Strategic Alliance Cyber Crime Working Group."
In a statement released late Friday afternoon, AllHipHop co-founders Chuck Creekmur and Gret Watkings said: "Urban culture and lifestyle has come under attack by a group of cyber terrorists. AllHipHop and SOHH, two pioneering Web sites that have been in the industry for over 10 years, are appalled by the unprovoked racist attacks of these cyber terrorists. With all the social strides that we have seen for several years, it is sad to see that this sort of blatant, hateful racism still exists in 2008 — a time of tremendous possibility. Together, AllHipHop and SOHH are committed to relentlessly pursuing these attackers, using every resource available, to ensure the capture of these criminals and prevention of repeat offenses."
SOHH and AllHipHop say they have joined forces to resolve the issue and have involved the proper authorities. Further comment is expected. Datpiff.com, which is dedicated to mixtapes, is still functioning as usual.

Re: Hip Hop Sites Hacked By Apparent Hate Group
LMAO @ hate group.
What really happened is that a bunch of dudes from SOHH Forums talked **** to people from 4chan like "They aint ****, they can't do nothing to us". About 2 days later about dozens of accounts got hacked. They're still talking all kinds of ****. Then the whole forum got DDOSed. I dunno if it was 4chan or ebaumsworld that did it.
I dunno bout that AHH thing though. I know a bunch of SOHH dudes migrated there a bit.

Re: Hip Hop Sites Hacked By Apparent Hate Group
Yeah this is pretty funny especially them calling 4chan cyber terrorists and a hate group. They might be racist but they didn't target SOHH cause of race or hip-hop it was because the SOHH idiots called them out now they got owned.  SOHH is racist anyways if you go to the forum and say anything they don't like you're labeled as a cracka or some ****.
