The website of the Australian Classification Board was hacked this evening. The identity of the individual or group responsible is unknown. At 8:19PM AEST the front page reads:

Welcome to the Classification Website
This site contains information about the boards that have the right to CONTROL YOUR FREEDOMZ. The Classification Board has the right to not just classify content (the name is an ELABORATE TRICK), but also the right to DECIDE WHAT IS AND ISNT APPROPRIATE and BAN CONTENT FROM THE PUBLIC. We are part of an ELABORATE DECEPTION from CHINA to CONTROL AND SHEEPIFY the NATION, to PROTECT THE CHILDREN. All opposers must HATE CHILDREN, and therefore must be KILLED WITH A LARGE MELONS during the PROSECUTION PARTIES IN SEPTEMBER. Come join our ALIEN SPACE PARTY.

I condemn this attack.
Hacking a website does nothing to bring about social change. Those who believe it does are mistaken. These attacks can potentially damage the hard work done by those campaigning to reduce censorship.
