Not a good week for computer systems.
Hackers have attacked the United Nations official website, forcing some sections to be taken offline.Slogans accusing the US and Israel of killing children appeared on the pages reserved for statements from UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.
Other pages on the site were also breached by the group, who described their actions as a "cyberprotest".
In other attacks by hackers using the same names, they have claimed to be from Turkey.
The message on the UN site said: "Hey Ysrail and Usa dont kill children and other people Peace for ever No war."
The hackers named themselves as "kerem125", "Gsy" and "M0sted".
Groups using the same names have attacked many websites.

Thanks for picking this one up Jordan. I saw it yesterday and waited for confirmation. I knew it was a Zionist attack, as it is becoming more and more frequent. I wonder if they will start using "Megaphone here too. I saw that the trace route for this attack went via Boston.
