"Internet Vigilantes" Attack Islamist Website, Post Pornographic Images of Mohammed

Some internet vigilantes I'd like to meet. Since we were once the victims of a cyber-attack from Turkish Islamists, I can't say I'm not more than little satisfied. The Local:

Swedish hackers have retaliated against their Turkish counterparts following an attack earlier this month on some 5,000 Swedish websites.

"We have chosen to leak these user details in response to the many recent attacks on Swedish web hosts and websites following the publication of a satirical drawing by Lars Vilks portraying the Muslim prophet Muhammad as a roundabout dog." ...

The Swedes also broke into the e-mail and MSN accounts of Turkish web users and sent messages using the stolen identities. Among the images in circulation was a pornographic illustration of Muhammad and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the modern Turkish state.

Payback: more than just a bitch, it's blasphemy.
