Going, going, gone.
Dunbar Sloane, New Zealand’s prestigious art auction house, got a raw deal when its homepage, was hacked on Saturday.
Messages “to the sons of monkeys and pigs” were left on the homepages at dunbarsloane.co.nz and dunbarsloane.com. The auction house uses both domain names in its promotions.
War-related images, with one containing the words ‘Free Palestine’ were on the homepage on Saturday.
“This hacked [sic] is dedicated to the Palestinian People,” the site read at 5pm.
“Your security is very low,” the message said. It appeared alongside the tagline “hacked by #ShysterAngel”.
“Israhell does not have a presence we will continue to hacked your site because you are our enemies,” it said.
Several images of Middle Eastern conflict anchor the hacked page, sitting under rows of Arabic text.
According to a translator, the messages were “In support of Palestinian people and they are sending a message to Israelis that Palestine belongs to Palestinians and not Zionists.”
