The Saudi education ministry's website was shut down on Monday after hackers posted pictures of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and a youth wielding a syringe.
Hackers shut down Saudi education ministry website
Hackers calling themselves the "True Promise Team" posted Nasrallah's picture and blasted Saudi treatment of the kingdom's minority Shiites in the first hack, according to a cached version of the page published on the Sabq.org news website.
They signed it with the name of Ali al-Sistani, Iraq's top Shiite cleric.
Saudi Arabia is predominantly Sunni Muslim.
The first page was subsequently replaced by another hack, carrying a photo of a syringe-wielding young man or woman, the cache of which could be accessed through Google.
That page appeared to give the pseudonyms of several hackers.
