Congressional Web Site Defacements Follow the State of the Union
Shortly after President Obama’s State of the Union address, constituents visiting the web sites of Congressional representatives like Charles Gonzalez (20th District of Texas), Spencer Bachus (Alabama’s 8th District), and Brian Baird (Washington’s 3rd District) were presented with a defacement message from the Red Eye Crew that as of 4:10 am EST remains up on their web sites. All of the sites affected are in the house.gov domain, but not every congressional site in the domain is defaced.
