Al-Qaida, one of the most reviled groups in the world because of their relentless terror attacks has been a victim of cyber terrorism. Yep, they were hacked so completely that they do “not have a single trusted distribution channel available on the Internet”. I’d say that’s being pwned. Of course, due to the sophisticated nature of the attack, many are wondering if it was sponsored or even perpetrated by one of the many governments that have good reason to disrupt the cyber communications of the terrorist group. 
“Al-Qaida’s online communications have been temporarily crippled, and it does not have a single trusted distribution channel available on the Internet,” said Evan Kohlmann, of Flashpoint Global Partners, which monitors the group’s communications.
