28 January 2010
SC MAGAZINE (NEW YORK, NY) - Hackers defaced 49 websites belonging to U.S. House of Representatives' members and committees soon after President Obama delivered his State of the Union address on Wednesday night. Virginia-based GovTrends, a web solutions provider, managed the affected sites. According to Jeff Ventura, spokesman for the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer in the U.S. House, each member can opt to have their site hosted and managed internally or by a third-party vendor. The Red Eye Crew, a group of hackers from Brazil, claimed responsibility for the defacements. The group previously defaced hundreds of Brazilian government sites and the website of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va.
