UFC Website Hacked, Possibly As Retaliation For SOPA Support

PrintAt roughly 5:40 p.m. ET the official UFC.com website was hacked. The site currently redirects to UGNazi.com, a site which is little more than a picture of an anime version of Hitler and a short message claiming responsibility.
Here's the tweet by the person behind the move:
@JoshTheGod
Josh Matthews UFC.com Hacked By UGNazi.com #Megaupload #UFC #Hack #ugnazi #joshthegod
Favorite Retweet
The prevailing thought on why the site was attacked is today's LVRJ article in which UFC executive VP Lawrence Epstein defended the promotion's support of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Support of SOPA has led to many websites being attacked recently and the promotion's rather out of touch stance on the issue likely drew the attention of groups looking to make a little noise.
In the latest defense, Epstein talked about piracy taking away the promotion's profits and ability to help grow the economy as well as talking about the need for the internet to have more rules.
There will be plenty more of these situations happening as the final battles in the SOPA war are fought.

ufc.com is still down. all i see is a blank white page.
i was pretty upset when i found out the UFC was supporting SOPA. but i guess it is not surprising or unexpected.

And then the site goes back up later, and everyone forgets. Great job, hacktivists. Fight the power by being mildly annoying.

Not really. If anything it’ll make the government come down harder. That’s like saying denying access to a supermarket parking lot for all customers is a good way to protest a lack of a pay raise. It’s not, and it’s stupid.

What would I have people do? What people from the parent company of the site I work for did. Go to Washington. A few people from Channel Awesome went and spoke to senators from our respective states personally, not to mention almost all of the writers and video producers from our company wrote letters to our senators, or were able to speak to them.
We went about it in a way that made sense, as opposed to attacks that will just add fuel to the fire. I’d encourage anyone to do the same thing, because it did work. SOPA and PIPA, in their current forms, are dead. Let it go.

Uh, that's great and all-
- and I fully support going to your respective senators. That’s certainly a step. But I fail to see how shutting down government websites adds “fuel to the fire” in the SOPA debate. SOPA is primarily about copyright infringement, not hacking. There’s already plenty of anti-hacking laws that they’ve already broken by their actions.

Making the people who oppose those laws look like a bunch of assholes does nothing for anyone who is against internet censorship, in any form.

Wait, what I really mean to say is...
Your distaste for and mistrust of the hackers’ interests and methods exactly mirrors the way they feel about you.
I personally don’t want the internet to be free only as long as large corporations agree to it. The hackers are clearly worried about that too. They may trust the corporations even less than the government, and that’s something Americans seem shockingly reluctant to identify with.

Neither one will be effective if they can't leverage their coverage into activity.
Wiki’s blackout made a lot more people aware of SOPA/PIPA, and providing the contact info of Sens & Reps made it easier for protesting. If OWS can steer the narrative towards economic inequality, force the politician into speaking about it, and actually vote based on the issue, then it will be a success. Hard to say right now.

Maybe a reference to the government. Hell fox news throws the word nazi around like its the word the.
I would assume it’s a reference towards “fascist” government and their legislation and such. It’s a little strange to call it “Underground Nazi Hackergroup” though, maybe they just think it’s a cool and ironic name or something like that, not sure.

Does it surprise you?
UFC has been pretty strident in their enforcement of copyright. Which to me was still a mistake- I think they should have let content be more available for a few more years to help build viral dispersal and help generate buzz for ppv buys. I get their goal of UFC TV, but I think they still went for it too soon given the technology and the landscape of online content buying and brand awareness. I got a ton of people hyped on UFC and Pride by showing them vids I got off WinMX and other sharing p2p tools. Actually Wandy vs Rampage 2 with that epic finish, downloaded illegally, was the fight I would show any male I ever met and have them hooked for good.

This is the internet. Its a new technology, and its scary, but its completely changed the paradigm for business. Like, completely. But already-entrenched businesses (read: particularly content distributors, like the RIAA) refuse to adapt. Mostly because they have a very profitable business going.

My previous comments here on the issue. I don't have much more to add.
The bill is sponsored by people who don’t understand the technical stuff and just think there are magical ways to fix things. The people in piracy communities are hardened nerds with backgrounds in computer science that have an intimate understanding of how everything works, from data structures to transfer protocols to seeing exactly what porn you watch. SOPA is basically like shooting a gun blindly in a crowded street to kill Mongo from Blazin’ Saddles. You’re going to injure a lot of innocent bystanders and if you do manage to hit him, you’re only going to make him mad.
The funny thing is that even the political issues aside,
the technology behind the execution is going to be way behind what pirates will develop to get around it.
Hey Congress! We’re nerds and we’re good at what we do. You pay Geek Squad $125 to go into msconfig and stop a program from loading on startup. Good luck, guys.

Never before has it been so clear that men in their late 50’s and up can’t make legitimate decisions about technology.

Yeah. Most people laughed about the whole Ted Stevens "series of tubes" debacle.
I got scared and SOPA/PIPA is exactly why. It’s all pretty terrifying. The implications about other policy are even worse but even at face value it’s really scary.

I don't find "series of tubes" as a bad analogy.
Tubes transport things from place to place. More bandwidth, larger the tube. Seems to make basic sense.

Note that I mention the whole debacle. Including this.
I just the other day got… an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday [Tuesday]. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially.
“Tubes” aren’t a bad analogy for bandwidth but Ted Stevens was clearly uneducated about the internet and he was in charge of regulating it. It was a wakeup call to anybody who cared about the tech industry that lawmakers are too out of touch to handle things properly.
Series of tubes is actually a great metaphor for the issues with wireless spectrum issues that many LTE providers are hitting now. Wireless companies are getting capped due to FCC regulations but really need a larger spectrum to provide data. That one line was quotable but the bigger picture is that Ted Stevens had no clue what he was dealing with and it showed us how lawmakers react to technology. They parrot advisers who feed them hamfisted oversimplifications.

I think he just stumbled on to something that worked. I'd be surprised if he knew the full extent of his analogy.

I completely support this hack. SOPA is bad news.

Real bad news
I for one refuse to pay for another PPV because of their support of this terrible bill.
SOPA and PIPA are all about control. They are nothing to do with copyrights. Those are just excuses to get this bill passed and censor the internet.

Zuffas anti piracy stance is so repugnant I’m going to count all my retroactive viewing of pirate streams as protest against them.

I'm fine with this. Fuck SOPA.

I know the UFC is pro-SOPA but was it really the cause for the hacking? I see it as some random hacker trying to make a name for himself.
Greatest lover ever during the day, Trainyard Sleeper at night.
Well...the MPAA, RIAA, and several government websites were all hacked on Thursday
I think it’s SOPA related.

legitimate protests against sopa are good
protests by a bunch of basement dwellers who don’t have the PR sense to realise calling themselves “nazis” is the fastest way to being dismissed? a waste of time.

Thus my massive paranoia in which it’s only a matter of time before North Korea hooks up with South Korea, daps it up with China then arrange an insane attack in which they shut down our most powerful defenses and then invade the United States of America.

This is probably a stupid place to mention this
But I study sociology and currently spent the last year reading about the nation state’s entry into cyberwarfare and Chinese cyberwarfare operations in particular, as in Chinese state cyberactions on behalf of private industry and against dissidents and activists. You don’t need to worry about the rest of those countries, China has enough going on to freak you out right now. The gap between China and the rest of the world in terms of aggressiveness and resources committed is ridiculous. For a taste, google operation Aurora. But that’s just the tip. Some estimates of China’s cyberwarfare division have it at over 10,000 people, or more people in one division of the PLA than the rest of the world’s organized government cyberwar forces. You don’t want to know how decentralized and unfocused our side is. Russia is also very aggressive, but there are a lot more non-military non-gov’t connections there…okay I will stop. Anyways, they are already testing and reconning our security on a scale everyone else is having difficulty conceptualizing. Wow, I just realized how kooky one sounds when relaying that information. I started out studying identity presentation in online communities but got sidetracked by internet crime.
I thought Lay N Pray was a stupid insult until I watched Tyrone Woodly fight.
They're not achieving anything.
And you’re an a moron thinking otherwise. Deluding yourself into believing a bunch of corporates are going to suddenly back down because of this.

Hackers are sending a strong message
But probably only encouraging congress unfortunately. Does anybody else love how they want to go after people for illegally downloading a few songs, but not after the bankers who cost our nation trillions.
All a bunch of old farts just trying to get reelected in upcoming elections.
But yeah, I agree that there will be consequences of these hackings. To what extent, we don’t really know.
The real criminals are in the White House, passing stuff like the NDAA.
