Another australian government website hacked and defaced by @Op_Australia

Posted on July 21, 2012 by Lee J

anonymous-and_-jnet-continuing-the_-lulz_ Early last week a newer operation sprung up within Australia. The operation is dubbed #OpAustralia and has been started in light of the recent security changes our government has proposed. Last week a sunshine coast website was attacked and the administration were fighting with the hackers who still had access via the coldfusion based admin panel but then it was removed and the attack stopped. The most recent attack is on another Queensland government based website workliveplay.qld.gov.au and the defacement contains the same message as last time.
