Local Small Business Owner Says Website Hacked By ISIS Sympathizers

Genny Davila says her company website, resqco.org, appears to have been hacked by sympathizers of the terror group ISIS.

And experts say many small businesses are becoming prime targets.

“Why would this happen to my website? I’m, like, a dog accessories company,” she said.

The site recently went from an online collar and leash store to a haunting advertisement for the Islamic State, or ISIS.

Davila contacted Homeland Security. They led her to the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team and she filed a report this week claiming she had been hacked.

“They did say, yeah, that it had been happening. I wasn’t the only one,” she said.

Well, she is getting some free publicity out of it. I suppose she could thank ISIS for that.

Do you think FR will become target of these creeps? I’m sure they hate us. But then, who don’t they hate?

So who administered the web site, and what server, OS, and application layer software was it running? Was the Unix system administrator the small business owner?

I believe JimRob has been targeted for years by various people, and this site is pretty hardened against attack. He probably has Perl turned on and everything else turned off.

If FR could be easily hacked, the Occupy types would have done so a long time ago.

There’s her problem, right there. To muslims, dogs are impure. Well, at least to most muslims. Obama, on the other hand, finds dogs to be tasty.

This has GOT to be a pretty secure/hardened site, as it HAS to be a target of many groups and entities. I’m actually surprised it hasn’t yet happened that I know of, at least during my going on 11 years here.

Seesh. She looks just like my wife! Hair and everything (seriously)

Face has a slightly different shape, but other than that, it’s a dead on.

I’ll have to show that pic to her. LOL

Woman owned business dealing with dogs. I am keeping an eye on my wife’s mobile grooming website.

God Willing, we will kill all of your Jewish dogs, you Jewish dogs! Unless your cats and goldfish convert to Islam, we will slit their throats, or gills, as God wills it. Allahu Akbar!
