July 11th, 2009 by admin | 2 Comments | Filed in Datacenter, hack, Internet, linux server, web server

ImageShack , one of the web’s largest image hosts, was attacked tonight by a movement called “Anti-Sec”. The result of the attack has been to replace all ImageShack hosted images with a manifesto for the movement (below).

The message adds that “no images were harmed in the making of this…image”, implying that ImageShack images are not lost.

We’ll post updates as we learn more: please add your own experiences in the comments.
