Newspaper site hacked with pro-ISIS message

Dayton City Paper home page compromised tonight


A free weekly newspaper’s website was targeted by an individual or group sympathetic to ISIS Saturday night.

Paul Noah, publisher and owner of the Dayton City Paper, a weekly arts and entertainment publication, said he had received a warning from the FBI about hackers breaching the software the paper uses for its website, but that he didn’t notice anything amiss until tonight.

The paper’s homepage plays foreign music, has a photograph of a masked man holding what appears to be an assault rifle and displays a message that includes: “Hacked by Team System DZ. I am Muslim & I love Jihad. I love ISIS <3.”

Similarly, the Eldora Speedway’s website was hacked last month. Foreign music was playing and this message was posted on its homepage: “Hacked by Islamic State. We Are Everywhere :)”

The Darke County dirt track owned by NASCAR driver Tony Stewart was one of at least three websites hacked March 7 in southwest Ohio. Websites for Montgomery Inn and Moerlein Lager House in Cincinnati also were compromised with a similar message appearing on their homepages.

It is not clear whether tonight’s incident is connected, nor whether any other area websites were hacked by the same group.
