The Kentucky Republican Party’s website is back up and running after an anonymous group of hackers seized control of it over the weekend.
The website was hacked by AnonCoders on Sunday and it remained down until Tuesday morning. An online search of AnonCoders only yielded a Facebook page, which gave little information about the group.
According to Wikipedia, AnonCoders was created in January and "mostly targets Israeli websites in protest of crimes allegedly committed against the Palestinian people on behalf of Israel."
The reason for the attack on the Kentucky Republican Party website is unknown. State GOP Chairman Steve Robertson told CN-2’s Pure Politics he doesn’t believe any donor information was compromised since that information is stored on a separate server.
