The U.S. Army has reportedly fixed two of its websites that had been defaced to display pro-Kurdish messages and to call out President Donald Trump. Security researcher Ronald Lovelace told Cyberscoop, which first reported the defacements, that error pages were modified on two U.S. Army websites, the Open Innovation Lab and the AI Integration Center, which test and integrate AI and other tech into emerging technologies. The defaced messages would show up when someone tried to visit a web page that didn’t exist on the websites. The defacements were visible as of Jul. 6, per Cyberscoop. The publication contacted the Army, which took the pages down soon after. The U.S. Army did not say how the error pages were defaced, and they are investigating the incident. Full Story
