TechCrunch reports:
The U.S. Army has reportedly fixed two of its websites that had been defaced to display pro-Kurdish messages and to call out President Donald Trump, the latest case of hackers compromising systems run by the federal government in recent months.
Security researcher Ronald Lovelace told Cyberscoop, which first reported the defacements, that error pages were modified on two U.S. Army websites, the Open Innovation Lab and the AI Integration Center, which test and integrate AI and other tech into emerging technologies.
The defaced messages would show up when someone tried to visit a webpage that didn’t exist on the websites.
The websites’ error pages had been altered with messages calling Trump a “pedophile” and a “thief,” likely referring to the President being extensively named in files held by the Justice Department concerning the late financier and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.
