LEEDS, Ala. — The Red Barn, a Christian non-profit in Leeds, Alabama has reportedly had its website hacked by a group or individual linked to terror group ISIS.
Last Friday, members of the non-profit noticed that information on the page had been replaced with a video of a person dressed in all black holding a machine gun, as well as ISIS propaganda.
Upon discovering the hack, The Red Barn approached their web developer for help, who then turned everything over to the FBI. The developer has said it will build a new website for the non-profit while the FBI investigates.
According to the Birmingham Business Journal, experts at UAB said that approximately 4,000 other websites have been hacked by this same individual or group, and its targets appear to have been chosen at random.
The Red Barn offers therapy for all ages, including military veterans, through working with horses. “Each week over 100 children and adults visit the barn to work with our fabulous horses in order to strengthen their minds, bodies, and souls, The Red Barn’s new website says. “Whether they are attending a riding lesson, camp, or educational activity, everyone entering the barn is welcomed, encouraged, and loved.”
