Nigerian gov hacked by gay activists

Looks like Nigeria has really pissed off some very intelligent gays in the process of trying to get it's anti-gay laws passed through the president (carrying 14 years jail terms for being gay). They have hacked into the Nigerian gov website, putting this up for some time before the gov regained control of the site.

That looks largely symbolic, however the hackers weren't just sitting around when the site was under.their control. It appears they've gained some rather sensitive information about the gov too.....

The President was asked to “veto or renounce the bill” within 72 hours. Issuing a threat after, the hackers stated on the website that “failure to follow our order will unleash a torrent of fury aimed directly at the direction of your administration, starting with some startling but unsurprising evidence of corruption in your ranks.” 

The hackers also continued with an assurance as the message continued with “no need to start destroying evidence, I already have it.” more

The Nigerian president has the right to overturn the new law if he sees fit.
