The official website of the MTN Africa Cup of Nations (Ghana 2008) tournament, was hacked. It was done reportedly by fans claiming to be Moroccans. They allegedly were avenging the defeat of Morocco by the Black Stars of Ghana, during the African cup of nations tournament.
The hackers replaced the background of the website with a man clad in red hooded clothes and clutching the symbol of the Star of David.
In response, the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) of Ghana 2008, has asked the programmers in charge to put more effort to protect the site. In light to what can be said to be a totally embarrassing and humiliating incident.
