Uh, just because it says it is registered to Joker.com does not mean it was hacked by people working at Joker.com.

In fact, it doesn’t even necessarily mean anyone “hacked it”. Their domain name might have lapsed and it might have been purchased by someone else.

Or, even more mundane, they might have changed their server settings and haven’t got things set up correctly yet.

This article shows a lot of lack of familiarity with the technical details and makes a lot of assumptions. Not very hard-hitting. quote end

I read the article and expected someone would read It too, That's why I posted It, Besides just cause joker.com is a domain registrar doesn't mean someone can't post some code and an image from somewhere, In any case I found It humorous as they got hacked.

Let Me guess, CNN lies...

Well here It is:
CNN wrote:

UPDATE FROM OCTAVIA: Thanks for the comments about the hacking vs. domain registration expiration. This is definitely a valid point. Our focus here is not to write a technical essay about hacking. It’s merely an attempt at showing how some people – we don’t know who – are fighting al Qaeda by attacking their websites. Al-Ekhlaas website has been down for months following years of operation. While today it redirects you to joker.com, tomorrow it might redirect you to another site. While we do not know who is hacking into the jihadi websites, there is no doubt they’re being hacked.

How do we know that?

On the jihadi sites that work, it is common practice to announce that “Site X has been downed by evil forces but we’re working on bringing it back up.” Or “Site Y was hacked but you can join us temporarily on this address.” To the dismay of the jihadist community and its supporters, the Al-Ekhlaas website has been downed/hacked/disabled – you choose the terminology that works for you. From the chatter about it, this doesn’t seem like this is a domain registration problem. Al-Ekhlaas has been on line uninterrupted for a long time. This is the first time it disappears abruptly and can’t get back on.


I mean how much proof does one need? And CNN is a reputable source, At least their not the Onion.

It wasn't lapsed, It was redirected, But I guess CNN isn't good enough, Is this site here good enough then?
Al-qaedas websites do have their share of problems. Too bad.
