Belvoir Castle Victim of a Cyber Attack

The English family seat of the Duke of Rutland, and the site of an annual ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic’, became the unlikely victim of a cyber attack by Islamic extremists. The group hacked into the castle’s website and replaced images of the castle, in the rolling Leicestershire countryside, with the Algerian
flag and a tirade in Arabic against the Jewish state. Apparently they had mistaken it for Belvoir Fortress, a crusader castle in Israel.
