Pro-Palestinian Hacker Defaces National Skills Academy Website

A UK based Government training organisation, known as the "National Skills Academy", had it's homepage hacked and defaced, being replaced with a pro-Palestinian message stating "Virtual Protests will continue..! Everything for PALESTINE! JaCKal Ownz Your System. I came challengeing to the world THE END." It was also accompanied by an image showing a container ship, with the word "Gaza" on the side.

The NSA is said to be "a network of employer-led, world-class centres of excellence delivering the skills required by each sector of the economy", according to it's website.

A spokeswoman for the NSA has told TheRegister.co.uk that their techies were in the process of taking the website down, and it's seems they've currently done that. The front page shows a "Directory Listing Denied" message, while the rest of the pages show Microsoft IIS 6's "404 Page Cannot Be Found" error.
