So you’re a sweet, innocent youth opera company that pines away the seasons by singing Carmen and Il Barbiere di Siviglia for the senior citizens, raising money for local charities, making your parents proud, and hoping that one day, someone will notice your struggling, modest productions.
The Central Pennsylvania Youth Orchestra finally got the attention they were looking for, but for all the wrong reasons. A radical Turkish group as of yesterday hax0rd the youth opera’s website, dropping a manifesto screed on their home page. The CPYO (dead link here: www.cpyo.com, but with a redirect) went under attack (for apparently arbitrary reasons – the group doesn’t really have a beef with dead European composers) by script kiddies MDX, a Turkish Islamic extremist group vying for the Islamification of Turkey. The CPYO website is now hosting a generic page as they struggle to find more secure hosting.
Thanks to google image cache (we ♥ u google cache), you can see what their website looks like normally here, and the hax0rd version here. Nothing too exciting, but hey, it's a slow news day.
