Tel Aviv, Israel - A group of Jewish ultra-Orthodox hackers is waging a war against pornographic Web sites, replacing their content with nothing but the picture of a revered rabbi, an Israeli paper reported.
To fight what they see as an abomination, the ultra-Orthodox "sex commando" has so far targeted only Israeli-based Web sites, the mass-selling Yedioth Aharonot reported.
In one case the hackers scrapped the site's entire contents.
Instead of seeing images of sexy girls, anyone who logs onto the site encounters the stern look of the white-bearded Rabbi Menahem Mendel Schneerson, the late leader of the popular Jewish Lubavitch stream.
Below his image appear the words "we, the Da-Net group, have hacked into this site and erased all its abomination."
The group then describes the porn site as "a violation which has caused many people's death, troubles and calamities."
