received a report that the newspaper's website and the intranet
journalists use to file stories had been hacked.
The website was attacked at around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday and could not
be accessed. Instead, it displayed a photo of a white cat smiling with
its mouth covered and a caption that read: "Hacked by IsOne." The daily
diverted readers to an alternative site, but the unstable internal
network caused problems.
Police believe the hackers carefully planned their attack and planted a

antics of a lone hacker on a joyride and involved a carefully planned
