Now even I have to say that - Security is just an Illusion, because just now the group aligned with Anonymous has successfully hijacked another two Antivirus firm website - ESET and Bitdefender.
The KDMS Team successfully changed the DNS records of both sites to redirect people to a website playing the Palestinian national anthem and displaying a political message under the title "You Got Pwned".
Message posted on Bitdefender and Eset website says:
Hello bitdefender
Touched By KDMS team
We was thinking about quitting hacking and disappear again ..!
But we said : there is some sites must be hacked

Defacement of Security companies is really embarrassing and hacker's tactics allowed them to get their political message to millions of users. One of their team members tweeted, "When it's a matter of resistance no one will blame you. . Free Palestine .. Fight for Palestine"
