Terrorist message appears on winery website

The Latah Creek Winery website was briefly caught up in the war on terrorism Friday after it was hacked to show a pro-Islamic State message.

A group called “Team System DZ” claimed credit for the hack that proclaimed the message “I am Muslim & I love jihad,” according to a screen shot captured by KHQ.

The message included a promise “to purge the land of Muslims from the hypocrites (sic) infidels.”

Winery owner Mike Conway said his daughter discovered the hack about 3:30 p.m. and they traced it to their ad agency’s server. The agency found that the problem was due to a Word Press plug-in.

“So every site that has that plug-in across the country was affected,” Conway said.

Conway, who reported the attack to the FBI, said more than 200 sites across the country were affected.

The site was fixed by 5:30 p.m.
