We stand by our Muslim brothers – Turkish hackers say
Turkish hackers who targeted Ghana government websites say they did so to ‘stand by our Muslim brothers.”
The hackers known as Alsancak TIM in a Facebook communication with Joy FM’s Israel Laryea said “Ghana intense missionary activity results in a reduction of the Muslim population.”
When asked to explain further, the hackers said, “We stand by our Muslim brothers. We are at war with each state oppression and exploitation.”
The hackers last Wednesday targeted the presidency website, the government of Ghana website (ghana.gov.gh) and the ministries of communications, local government, trade and foreign affairs.
The sites have since been restored and the Deputy Minister of Communications, Ato Sarpong says, the government has opened a probe into the matter.
