Hacked Saudi Website

A well-known Saudi short story website (www.arabicstory.net) was hacked on Friday by an unidentified group calling itself “Group x 5”.

The website is popular not only in Saudi Arabia but throughout the Arab world and was founded seven years ago by Saudi writer Jubair Al-Milehan, originally from Hail.

The hackers’ statement said that the website was attacked as part of their plan to “delete all Shiite and Zoroastrian websites.” The statement concluded by saying, “This is a lesson for you to teach you not to give your money to a Zoroastrian.”

This is of note because I never thought there was such a thing as a "Saudi Short Story website", let alone that one would be "popular".
