Hackers Hit House Websites
Hackers struck at least 10 House websites overnight, substituting expletives aimed at Pres. Obama just hours after his State of the Union address.
The hackers targeted many House Dem freshmen, including Reps. Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM), Harry Teague (D-NM), John Boccieri (D-OH) and Steve Driehaus (D-OH), as well as at least 5 other more senior Dems and the site owned by GOPers on the House Oversight Committee.
"F--- OBAMA!! Red Eye CREW !!!!! O RESTO E HACKER!!! by HADES; m4V3RiCk; T4ph0d4 -- FROM BRASIL," the messages read.
The Red Eye Crew has been responsible for other hacks before. The group claimed credit for hacking a site belonging to Old Dominion Univ. in '08 and Wieden + Kennedy, a New York ad agency.
A screen shot of Rep. Russ Carnahan's (D-MO) hacked website is displayed.
Its more like 25 congress member sites that were defaced. PraetorianPrefect has some of the details.

Wieden & Kennedy is not a "New York ad agency" they are based in Portland, Oregon.
So they're fans of Greg Gutfeld?
These were some pretty dumb anti-obama hackers if they also attacked joe "you lie!" wilson.
They've screwed themselves now.
Before, they were low on enforcement priorities.
Not so anymore.
They didn't screw themselves, at the very least they got themselves jobs.
