Turkish hackers hacked the official Vatican website and actually managed to shut it down. The hacking was done as an act of revenge against Pope Francis for his exposing of the Armenian Genocide.

According to one report:

The hacker said that the Pope’s comments were “unacceptable” for a respected religious figurehead. “Taking sides and calling what happened with the Armenians genocide is not true […] We want Pope [Francis] to apologise for his words or we will make sure the website remains offline,” he added.

The site was restored within a number of hours, however according to the apparent perpetrator the main server remained offline.

Turkish hacking groups are not the only community looking to target the Vatican over the Pope’s recent comments. Both the Turkish and Armenian government have even expressed their upset.
