This lets malicious users insert defacement messages, malicious redirects, or other unauthorized content that visitors see specifically on error pages, sometimes making the compromise harder to detect since the rest of the site appears untouched.<\/p>\n<p>Lovelace said the affected sites run on WordPress and Microsoft cloud infrastructure. It\u2019s not clear how long the subdomains have been compromised or whether other subdomains are affected. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt raises the severity a decent amount because it shows it\u2019s a bit deeper than just one single path\u201d that\u2019s being corrupted, Lovelace said.<\/p>\n<p>However, while the defacement\u2019s presence across multiple subdomains suggests the potential for \u201cbroad reach,\u201d it doesn\u2019t appear to affect all Army websites, with many still showing normal 404 error pages.<\/p>\n<p>Also unclear at this time is how the hackers gained the ability to edit error pages for those websites, whether the breach originated internally if it was due to an internal or through a third party breach, and whether the intrusion extends beyond limited website defacement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The websites were taken offline after CyberScoop reached out to the Army for comment. An Army spokesperson told CyberScoop that the pages were hosted on a legacy third-party platform that is not connected to the Army\u2019s enterprise network and have since been removed.<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson said incident response by Army cyber investigators remains ongoing, and that it\u2019s too early to say whether the third-party platform will be patched or discontinued. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are aware of unauthorized defacements on the error pages of <a href=\"http:\/\/oil.army.mil\/\">oil.army.mil<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/ai2c.army.mil\/\">ai2c.army.mil<\/a>, which are hosted on a legacy, non-authoritative platform,\u201d said Army spokesperson Maj. Sean Minton in a statement. \u201cTechnical teams took immediate action to mitigate the issue, and the affected pages have been secured. The Army takes all cyber incidents seriously and is actively investigating this matter to enforce our strict cyber defense and network security standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear who is behind the defacement beyond the references to Kurdistan\u2014 a geographic region spanning parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria that is home to more than 30 million Kurdish people. The Kurdish separatist movement has fought for decades to establish an independent nation, and defacing government websites has long been a popular tactic among Kurdish hacktivists.<\/p>\n<p>Trump and Barrack <a href=\"https:\/\/inkstickmedia.com\/for-kurds-tom-barrack-becomes-the-latest-face-of-us-betrayal\/\">drew the ire<\/a> of Kurdish proponents earlier this year for seeming to back a Syrian government military campaign to reestablish federal control over Kurdish-majority lands.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the first time that Army websites have been seemingly compromised by foreign hackers. In 2015, Army officials had to temporarily <a href=\"http:\/\/google.com\/search?q=kurdish+website+defacement+army+2015&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS1092US1092&oq=kurdish+website+defacement+army+2015&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRigAdIBCDQ0NDVqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8\">shut down major websites<\/a>, including the Army main home page and the Department of Defense\u2019s U.S. Strategic Command, after hackers from the Syrian Electronic Army defaced them.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.4535901926445\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"13\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/us-army-websites-defaced-with-pro-kurdish-sentiments-insults-to-trump-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Derek B.
