thetimes.co.uk - Media groups were urged to reinforce their defence against hackers yesterday after a TV network’s broadcast was hijacked by Islamist extremists.
Hackers claiming to belong to Islamic State (Isis) took over TV5 Monde, the French-language broadcaster, replacing programmes with a message on a black screen proclaiming a “Cybercaliphate”.
Having also gained control of the station’s websites and Facebook page, they posted identity documents apparently belonging to relatives of French soldiers.
Officials said that the attack had taken the information war between the West and Isis to a new level.
