Lenovo website hacked and defaced by Lizard Squad in Superfish protest
The hacking collective took over the Lenovo site for several hours on Wednesday, redirecting users to a slideshow of bored teenagers
Lenovo, the PC maker at the centre of the Superfish controversy, suffered its own security breach on Wednesday when its main website was defaced, redirecting users to a slideshow of pictures of bored-looking teens (apparently the hackers themselves) set to the song Breaking Free from High School Musical.
Clicking on the slideshow sends users to the Twitter account of hacking collective the Lizard Squad, while viewing the source of the page reveals a note reading "the new and improved rebranded Lenovo website featuring Ryan King and Rory Andrew Godfrey" - two people previously named by security reporter Brian Krebs as being members of the group.
