A group of Iranian hacktivists calling themselves the Iranian Cyber Army (Ir.CA) have defaced the Voice of America website, as well as 93 other domains, yesterday.

The rogue landing page on www.voanews.com and all the other websites displayed the Ir.CA logo, which contains the Iranian flag, and a political message reading:

Voice of America (VOA) is the official international radio and TV broadcasting service of the US government. It broadcasts in over forty languages by satellite, FM and AM.

Online streaming is also available from VOANews.com and affiliate websites. The Tech Herald reports that most of the 94 domains defaced by Ir.CA were related to VOA.

These include voanews.net, voanews.org, voanews.info, voahp.com, voanews.us, and many others, all registered at Network Solutions and using one of its subsidiaries for DNS services.
