THE WEBSITE OF a college in Limerick has been taken down after a group claiming to be Islamic State ‘hacked’ the site.
Central College Limerick’s site displayed an image of the Islamic State flag, along with another image of a militant with a gun.
A message on the page read:
THIS WEBSITE HAS BEEN HACKED BY THE ISLAMIC STATE IN SYSRIA [sic] (ISIS). IRELAND EXPECT US.
Previous hacks like this on other sites, such as a barbers in Dublin or the Rape Crisis Centre, were due to vulnerable WordPress plug-ins or other security issues, with the site itself was not directly targeted.
The college has been contacted for comment.
