I agree with the folks saying Stuxnet but about 15 years ago I was selling PHP services to small businesses. Drupal, Joomla, and Wordpress. I woke up one morning to what was apparently at that time the largest automated attack in history. Almost all of my clients pages were defaced with a few different versions of the same site. The background of the page was dark blue with the silhouette of a man on a horse waving a scimitar over his head. The sites had gifs of gold 3D text that spun around. I don’t remember what it said, but I do remember the message varied slightly on each site. Also the pages autoplayed audio, again not consistent site to site but I remember most played recordings of a Muslim call to prayer. The imagery and audio seemed inconsistent ideologically so I never felt it was religiously motivated, it felt more like some white boys trying to do shit they thought would freak out other white folks. The hacks didn’t destroy anything, they for sure could have after I looked into the exploit. It was an easy fix though. I think I remember reading that a hundred thousand or more PHP sites were hit. I saved copies of the sites because I honestly thought it was exciting. My customers did not share my excitement. I’m also moved to Python after that. I never looked into it more, I’m gonna go do some digging and see if the folks who did it piped up to own it.
