In Palo Cedro, 8 miles east of Redding in rural Shasta County, the people running the ‘Trailhead Youth Ranch’ woke up Saturday to find their website had been hacked. Instead of information about the ranch that uses the gospel, and horses, to reach out to at-risk youth, anyone who clicked on their website saw a fast-paced video featuring a man speaking about Islam. “We were quite concerned,” says Gwen Hawver, “It had nothing to do with our organization, obviously.”
The small, somewhat obscure website trailheadyouthranch.org had been hacked, apparently by a group of people operating out of Egypt, calling themselves ‘Anonymous Rabba Square.’
Information Security Expert William Caput says the group is loosely based on the American hacker group ‘Anonymous.’ He says the group operating out of Egypt is likely not state-sponsored, because governments that hack like to cover their trail. This group likes to show-off it’s attacks by posting their handiwork to Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
Says Caput, “The trail they left behind shows it’s kind of amateur. They’re trying to impress themselves, or impress their friends.” For the full article click here
