Turkish hacker RootAyyildiz Turkish Defacer, whose name has been in the public eye for quite some time in recent years due to his hacking attacks, is defacementing the WikiLeaks online store in order to express his opposition to the existence of the website.
The hacker, it seems, has a reason for hacking the WikiLeaks e-shop as in the image he chose to use on the defaced subdomain he characterizes the organization as "greedy." RootAyyildiz was furious with the existence of the online shop since he believes that the administrators are trying to make money and exploit the world through a hacktivist activity that was created for the common good.

The Turkish hacker is not letting anything go to waste and through his recent attack he is leaving his own comment against the WikiLeaks online store. Specifically, since yesterday Monday, anyone who visits several subdomains of the website will encounter the following image which states:
“You are greedy people, you are a bunch of brokers who treat people like heroes and want to earn money by selling products to them” (You are greedy people, you are a bunch of brokers who treat people like heroes and want to earn money by selling products to them [Translation])

In the image, one cannot help but notice the image of Julian Assange, probably as a sign of protest from RootAyyildiz, but also a contemporary song that complements the defacement.
According to exclusive information from SecNews, RootAyyildiz managed to deface the website after using social engineering against Shopify, a service for creating and operating online stores.
It is not yet known whether the hacker still maintains unauthorized access to the online shop's servers or whether sensitive personal data of customers and employees has been stolen.

What is defacement?
A defacement attack is a type of website vandalism where hackers infiltrate the website and replace its content with their own messages. It is usually used to cover up something larger, which is happening in the background, while the messages can carry a political or religious message, inappropriate content, or a notification that the website has been hacked.
Content alteration is usually achieved using SQL injection and logging into the administrator's account. Common targets of defacement attacks are government figures and websites, or religious websites, while the attacks are most often committed by activists (hacktivists), who prefer large pages with many viewers.
