The Hip-Ho websites SOHH.com and AllHipHop.com were forced to shut downlast weekend after hackers placed fake headlines and photoshopped images, where the sites latest news should have been.
SOHH.com’s CEO Felicia Palmer released this “”It appears that hackers are specifically targeting Black, Hispanic, Asian and Jewish youth who ascribe to hip-hop culture. Other websites, including AllHipHop and DatPiff.com’s forums have also been compromised or threatened this week. Also, as this is an international issue, it is being addressed by the FBI and the Strategic Alliance Cyber Crime Working Group.”
And AllHipHops founder said this “”Urban culture and lifestyle has come under attack by a group of cyber terrorists. AllHipHop and SOHH, two pioneering Web sites that have been in the industry for over 10 years, are appalled by the unprovoked racist attacks of these cyber terrorists. With all the social strides that we have seen for several years, it is sad to see that this sort of blatant, hateful racism still exists in 2008 — a time of tremendous possibility. Together, AllHipHop and SOHH are committed to relentlessly pursuing these attackers, using every resource available, to ensure the capture of these criminals and prevention of repeat offenses.”
That’s really sad. How could a subculture that has preached nothing but Love and Peace be attacked by such hateful slander???
