But I wonder why? I wasn't aware that Bootsnipp had any political/ideological message that would clash with ... well ... anything?


Most of the times, hackers hack the websites just to convey their hatred for something. Website being linked to an ideology or political organization hardly matters to them.

OR

Sometimes they hack a website on a server and if symlink is ON, other websites on the same server can be compromised.


Yes looks like it has been hacked and defaced.
