One of the areas of Black Hat hacking that is thankfully much less prevalent today is "hacktivism" - hacking motivated by political activism. Most of this involves taking over a political enemy's web server and posting what amounts to political graffiti. While this is a step up from the usual LOL w3 pwn3d j00 graffiti, it's not much of a step up. But I'll make an exception for this one:
Comment #1: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!click to enlarge
The Independent Media Centre of Australia is reporting that the sister website of the flatlining Chicago Climate Exchange, the European Climate Exchange (ECX), had it’s main page hacked and replaced with the image above. I’ve confirmed this with Google cache of the ECX website available here, Screencap of the cached page here. [Update: Wikipedia now has a larger screencap online here]
Comment #2: C'mon lefties - it's a climate crisis! Don't you love Mother Gaia? We're all being told that we have to give up 2% of global GDP to atone for our evil ways, can't you sacrifice your hatred of Wall Street for The Cause? No? OK, then!
Comment #3: Man, I picked the wrong day to drive 700 miles. In future, I shall endeavor to do better for all y'all.
Comment #4: Hey lefties, google "regulatory capture". Now extrapolate the opportunity for Regulatory Capture with 2% of the world GDP at stake. Pop an artery when you realize what it means.
Comment #5: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
This doesn't have terribly much to do with that, but my friends in MT who own the ranch that I hang out at are as conservative as they come. He would probably be a (-) on the "How Hippie Are You" test. He keeps saying he's going to make some plaques that read "Saving the Forest for Carbon Credits, [Your Name Here]" and selling them on E-bay for a couple hundred dollars apiece. Some bleeding heart, guilty conscience liberal can buy it, and he'll nail it to a tree in his woods, promising to never chop it down. I think he could make a pretty penny.
