Looks like the hack of 4 governmental websites last month was just a warm up. A group called RYV (Raise Your Voice) hacked 16 other websites today morning and left a message asking the government to solve its self-made problems, and encouraging the people to mobilize and stand up for their demands. You can check the full list of websites here on Pastebin.
“We are RYV, short for Raise Your Voice, and we are simply a group of people who could not bear sitting in silence, watching all the crimes and injustice going on in Lebanon,” the group said.
It vowed to continue hacking the sites until the Lebanese people earn the rights they are asking for and until living standards are improved.
“We will not stop until this government’s self-made problems are solved, like the power shortage, water shortage, rise in gas prices and rise in food product prices,” the group said.
“We are RYV, expect us to break the silence, whether in the streets or on the Internet,” it said, stressing that “silence is a crime.” Source
The message of course speaks our minds (except that nobody is probably ready to mobilize), but I’m not sure how well was that message grasped by our dear politicians!
You can stay up to date with RYV’s latest news through their twitter and Facebook accounts.
Knowing that our dear government does not rely on any of its websites to do any sort of work, hacking them is not causing any damage to them, hence, the message will not reach its purpose well. Instead, i might suggest that “RYV” hackers, would hack into every single minister and parliament member’s bank account and rip the shit off their accounts up to the last cent of it. Then, we will see how they feel being ripped off all the time by people who got in charge.

hahah thanks for the including that note!
lol, it’s getting worse and worse.16 websites! this is war, guys.
Don’t care much about the government websites but still can’t forget my Playstation account getting hacked last year. I had to change every single pin code on each credit card, passwords and so on… geez.
I’ve stopped using PayPal and credit cards afterwards and use paysafecards instead. at least it’s not such a big deal if it gets hacked – they won’t steal anything but a couple of bucks. no personal data, no passwords – nothing else.
