According to the PNJ.com, The Escambia County Tax Collector's web site has become one of the latest victims of a global online defacement epidemic carried out through an SQL injection attack. As a result, the site was taken offline around 4PM yesterday afternoon.
Prior to the site being taken down, visitors were greeted with the message: "Hacked by m0sted (Turkish) No War."
The Tax Collector's office claims that no internal or sensitive material were compromised and that any information available on the site were already public information.
The web site is expected to back online and operational by Monday.
Here's a link to the PNJ article. (You can read it while it hasn't been archived. After that, the greedy bastards want you to pay for it.)
