The website of the Finnish breweries’ association was hacked on Saturday night, and for a time showed messages in support of the extremist Islamist group ISIS. The message, in the name of a group calling itself ‘ISIS hackers’, said that ISIS will ‘restore dignity for all Muslims’.
The association’s Managing Director Elina Ussa was hard pressed to find a reason for the Islamist hackers’ targeting her organisation. She said that there was nothing she could do about the hacking until Monday, when she’d be in touch with the administrators of the site.
Later on Sunday the site began returning an error message rather than the ISIS-lauding text. The matter was first reported by Ilta-Sanomat.
