My co-worker tried to translate some of this stuff... it's not exact, but close enough (exact translation are difficult sometimes)

Top line says:

"Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar"
(God is Great! God is Great!)

...Nothing stops against the eagle when he spreads his wings...

...the penitration has happened with the help of these *strange* duo...
(*strange* may not be the best translation... This segment refers to the two hackers and their ability to hack or "penitrate" the AO website)

...to God is honor and to the muslims...

...the *strange* duo in the service of muslims...
(again *strange* may not be the best translation. but it refers to the two hackers again)

Very weird stuff considering the obvious political/religious message. I would not have expected this on a "paintball" website. Maybe AO generates enough traffic to make it an attractive target? If that's the case, why not PBN? PBN's traffic blows away AO...

damn terrorist hackers! :tdown:

I've actually seen this exact same page put up on other forums. I would bet that it was completely automated and that the people doing the hacking may not even be aware that this took place. I mean, there's no end of exploits available to take advantage of certain holes in various pieces of software, and most are run via some automated process. It's more efficient that way. Of course, it is more entertaining to believe that there is a conspiracy or that Islamic terrorists are attacking AO, but the truth is much more boring, I'd be willing to bet.

yeah also some message boxes came up when you went to the main page something like down USA and down Isriel it was a fun time cause u got to go through them 2 times, then the scartching came up then u get the english part of hacked by crack sniffer and pipe sucker (aka Hack_Man & Pipe).

My guess as a person who cant read many langues except english and more english i would say its the Irish

that is a joke for all of the drunken irish AO'ers out there and no im not after yr lucky charms

whoever has caused me so much trouble and pain getting into AO needs to be raped and pillaged, i dont know if u all would believe this but i actually had to work at work today

[Jack & Coke]

wageslave is probably correct.

[JoshK]

AO HAS BEEN ATTACKED BY TERRORISTS!!!

Thank god the webby beat 'em off with a broom stick...
