Al Jazeera was penetrated trough their advert system.

Replaced the advert with "Together to overthrow Egypt" in an attempt to discredit Al-Jazeera network coverage of current events in Egypt.

They say they were able to locate "the source". In the past weeks it has become a target with several attempts from Israel, Portugal and Morocco, without affecting the site.

Real nice posting a hot link to a hacked site. Sighs, the Internet is doomed.

The article was posted after the hack was fixed, obviously.
