Remember the Pink Chaddi campaign? Well they put together a facebook group called, "the Consortium of Pub-Going, Loose and Forward Women" and unfortunately not surprisingly, it was hacked. They are not quite sure by who, but are surmising it is a group of hacktivists in the US.
Feministing hosts multiple groups on social networking sites and we are all too well aware of the threat of hacking, trolling and general disrupting of our online communities. These folks get their kicks from making us "feminazis" upset. But we don't get upset. Trolling feels like a virus. You gotta get the right software and good implementers and you are golden. Also, hacking like this reminds us it is so important we all continue to do what we do, both online and off.
This is the 4th time they have been hacked so go show them some love and learn more about their work.

The group has been hacked again. As that article says, the hackers changed the name to "Pro-Abortion, Baby Killing Feminist Whores and Manginas" - it's now called "LOL WUT", and the comment made by the administrator, as referenced in the article, has been deleted.

The main group was cracked and the Facebook Admin Team deleted the group along with 58,000 members. It seems they preferred the easiest solution?
Our founder, Nisha Susan, MSN-India's International Women’s Day Idol, had her account suspended.
Our boards, links, and wall were removed, our admin system was replaced with random people, and our news section and name repeatedly defaced and vandalised.
If a Human Rights group with over 58,000 members cannot get any clear or decisive action from the Facebook team, who can?
Our requests to the Facebook Admin team about this matter received no more attention than a form letter telling us to read the help files.
If it was Hilary Clinton’s Facebook Group, something may have been done.

We attempted to get it back, but since this is a Women’s Rights group in India, no one took notice. This is a travesty and we will carry on.
Peace to you all.
