The Mars mission site was hacked twice late Friday night by members of a Turkish hacking gang. Visitors were redirected to another website which had the Turkish flag and pwnage messages. Soon after, another attack several hours later defaced a blog post on the site, the project took the site offline, said Hammond. “It was back up Saturday at 1:15 p.m. MDT,” she added. “This was the public site,” Hammond stressed. “None of the scientific data was ever at risk.”
The Phoenix Mars Mission Web site offers news, images and other information about the lander, which touched down just over a week ago. The mission is being co-managed by the University of Arizona and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
