Top university hacked by IS infiltrator – Reports

According to news reports, a hacker proclaiming allegiance to the Islamic State jihadist group infiltrated the internal network of one of China's top universities to display images of masked and mounted militants, reports AFP.

The hacker also reprogrammed pages of Tsinghua University's in-house course portal to display Arabic verses from Islamic scripture accompanied by music, a student newspaper at the Beijing institution reported. The cyber-intruder identified himself as an "Islamic State Hacker". "God is great, I am unafraid of death, dying a martyr's death is my ultimate goal," reports translated an Arabic message as reading.

The student newspaper report was widely reposted by state-run media, but the original has since been deleted. Mainland China operates some of the tightest online controls in the world, with content deemed to be sensitive deleted and access to some Western websites blocked.
