TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-- Late Friday morning the NOTO Arts District website was hijacked by a group that identified themselves as "Team System Dz", a group supporting Jihad and ISIS.
The NOTO website, www.notoartsdistrict.com, has now been taken down by the hosting provider.
According to an expert consultant, the problem originates with Wordpress hosting providers that haven't locked down their security settings properly.
The hack traces back to Jordan and Algeria IP addresses, but an expert noted that this is not a sophisticated targeted attack but better described as a group of youthful hackers reaching for low hanging fruit.
Attached is a PDF of websites hijacked by this group over the past several years.
