UFC.com president Dana White tells that their website was a victim of cyber attack, on twitter. The site was alleged taken-down by hackers claiming as “Underground Nazi H4ck3rGrOup”.
A criminal investigation is underway after the site got compromised on Sunday. The site might be victim because, it was supporting SOPA. Users who wished to visit UFC.com were redirected to UGNazi.com, which welcome the users with bizarre music and cartoon drawing of Adolf Hitler.
The UFC has since issued a statement regarding the attack.
“On Sunday, January 22nd, the UFC.com website was redirected by a criminal hacker to another website,” the statement read. “The UFC website was quickly restored to the control of the UFC, and there is no evidence suggesting that any confidential information belonging to the company or its customers was compromised by the re-direction of the website. UFC representatives are continuing to investigate the matter and are working with law enforcement agents to prosecute those involved.”
When news of the hack broke, UFC president Dana White brushed it off on Twitter.
