Hackers affiliated with ISIS defaced several US government websites

According to reports from June 26, 2017, several government websites in Ohio, Maryland, Washington and New York were hacked and defaced by Algerian hackers, probably supporters of ISIS calling themselves Team System DZ.

Among the hacked and defaced websites were the Ohio governor’s site, which was defaced with pro-ISIS messages indicating that the act was carried out in revenge for President Trump’s policy. Two other websites in Ohio were also defaced, as well as those of Howard County in Maryland, the city of Brookhaven in New York, and the Washington Health Department.

The sites were shut down in order to restore them to normal. The relevant parties noted that although the sites were defaced, no information was leaked.
