Jehad.net
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jehad.net is a website formerly owned by Islamic militants that was taken down by a hacker from the United States.
On December 8, 2002, the owner of a large financial services firm in Minnesota saw that Al Qaeda was using the website to claim responsibility for the attacks on an Israeli airliner and a hotel in Kenya. (See: Kenyan hotel bombing)
He guessed the answer to the secret question of the MSN Hotmail account of Julliou Armani, the man listed as the contact for jehadonline.org.
The e-mail cracker proceeded to take Jehad.net and Jehadonline.org (configured to the same site) from the organization.
Al Qaeda had earlier posted an audio message containing a threat to attack the United States in July of that year. October 2002 was the month when Al Qaeda posted on the website a claim of responsibility for the attack on a French oil tanker in Yemen.
