Danish Web sites hacked by cartoon protesters

"STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Suspected Muslim hackers have broken into around 600 Danish Web sites to post threats and protest against satirical cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad, an Internet monitoring group said on Wednesday.

If pages outside Denmark, where the cartoons first appeared, were included, then the hack attacks numbered around 1,000, the Zone-H Web site, www.zone-h.org, said. Zone-H tracks attacks on Web sites and listed the sites which had been hacked.

"Danish, you'r D3ad," one page said in garbled English.

The page had been added to a Web site run by photographer Thomas Jorgensen and below was a photo of a mannequin doll painted in the Danish flag and hanging from its neck.
