Malaysian Airlines website has been hit by the IS affiliated Lizard Squad. The same group that caused havoc and shut down Xbox and PlayStation networks.

The Guardian reports:

The website’s front page was replaced with an image of a tuxedo-wearing lizard, and read “Hacked by LIZARD SQUAD – OFFICIAL CYBER CALIPHATE”. It also carried the headline “404 – Plane Not Found”, an apparent reference to the airlines’ puzzling loss of flight MH370 last year with 239 people aboard.

The IS group, which uses social media in recruiting and spreading its message, is believed to harbour ambitions of launching a cyber-war against the West. It is unclear why Malaysia Airlines was targeted. But concern has been rising in Malaysia after scores of its citizens were lured to the IS cause in the Middle East. Malaysian authorities last week said they have detained 120 people suspected of having IS sympathies or planning to travel to Syria.

Hopefully this group can be found and eradicated. What is going to be their next target? Obviously they have the ability to hack anything, which makes them a dangerous threat.
