Years of Arab Archive research threatened by website hackers

Post Thumbnail

A Tangerine-faced Oompa Loompa has bizarrely been used by hackers who have taken over a Dundee United fans site.

The creation from Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory has been posted as the profile picture for the Arab Archive twitter account, which has 3,700 stat-loving followers.

They also changed the display name for the @ArabArchive to ‘Hax0r FRID4Y’ and also altered the banner picture to another ‘Wonka’ graphic.

The fans group’s website, arabarchive.co.uk has also been taken temporarily offline after it was also hacked.

The fans group posts stats about the team and players, as well as historical material about the Tangerines.

Years of painstaking research has gone into the site, and admins are investigating if its data has been corrupted before they return the site to service.

Posting online, an administrator for the page said although they have already reported the matter to Twitter they are not expecting to be able to recover the page.

They said: “Well the rebuilding work continues. Long story short, our twitter account which had over 3,700 followers, has been compromised and taken over by a hacker.

“Unless Twitter can work their magic I’d say that account is dead and buried.”

A new Twitter profile has been set up at @ArabArchiveDUFC.
