Subject: [defaced-commentary] Amnesty International Defaced


On December 8, a group known as "BL4F" compromised and defaced the
Amnesty International (www.amnesty.org) web page. The message put up
questions United States activity in Afghanistan as well as those who
compare hackers to terrorists. Regardless of the message, it is always
interesting (disappointing?) to see charitable groups have to deal
with this type of activity.

About AI: 

Amnesty International is a worldwide campaigning movement that works
to promote all the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights and other international standards.  In particular,
Amnesty International campaigns to free all prisoners of conscience;
ensure fair and prompt trials for political prisoners; abolish the
death penalty, torture and other cruel treatment of prisoners; end
political killings and "disappearances"; and oppose human rights
abuses by opposition groups.
