Popular smartphone messaging app WhatsApp has had its website hacked by a pro-Palestinian group.
Gust MEES's insight:
As with the AVG hack, the group claiming responsibility for the defacement is the KDMS team, who appear to have a pro-Palestinian agenda.
It’s possible that the hackers managed to change the website’s DNS records, redirecting anyone who attempted to visit www.whatsapp.com to a different IP address.

Palästina-freundliche Hacker haben die Webseite des deutschen Antiviren-Spezialisten Avira lahmgelegt und zwei Botschaften hinterlassen. Offenbar wurden auch WhatsApp und AVG zur Zielscheibe der Angreifer.

The website of AVG, developers of one of the world's most popular free anti-virus products, appears to have been hacked by a pro-Palestinian group.
Gust MEES's insight:
It’s clearly embarrassing for a security company to hit in this fashion by hackers, but there is no indication that any customer information or sensitive data has been compromised.
Hopefully the AVG team will be able to resolve this issue quickly, and normal service will be resumed.
