A hacker made a bipartisan attack on the websites of 49 members of the U.S. House of Representatives two nights ago, and posted a negative comment about President Obama, the Associated Press reported. Jeff Ventura, a spokesman for the chief administrative office, told AP that while most lawmakers’ sites are managed internally, the sites that suffered the attacks are managed by a third-party vendor, GovTrends of Alexandria, Va. The crude defacements reportedly included messages such as: “F— OBAMA!! Red Eye CREW !!!!! O RESTO E HACKER!!! by HADES; m4V3RiCk; T4ph0d4 — FROM BRASIL” Ventura noted that GovTrends was in the midst of an update when the attack occurred, adding that 18 House sites managed by GovTrends were defaced last year.
