Hacker attack wreaks havoc on Sweden Democrat website

The website of the far-right Sweden Democrats was hacked on Saturday, one day before the party is expected to be voted into the Riksdag in Sweden’s September 19th general elections.
- Sweden Democrats fall in new voter poll (28 Apr 13)
- Sweden Democrat MP in racist Facebook chat (26 Apr 13)
- Sweden Democrats rake in southern support (22 Apr 13)
When AFP viewed the site early Saturday afternoon, only a digitalised picture made up of numerals to look like a piece of birthday cake with a lit candle was visible.
Below the picture, a short text read: "Anyway, this cake is great. It's so delicious and moist. Look at me still talking when there's Science to do," as Ellen McLain's "Still Alive" played in the background.
"I think it is a shame. Our political opponents should take the debate with us if they disagree with us," Almqvist said, insisting the attack "doesn't do any good for democracy."
The hacker attack came on the eve of general elections, with polls hinting the Sweden Democrats for the first time will win more than the four percent needed to enter parliament.
The far-right party, which won just 2.9 percent of the vote in the 2006 elections, has been seen winning as much as 7.5 percent on Sunday, although three polls published Saturday handed it between 3.8 and 5.9 percent of voter intentions.
The surveys meanwhile showed the centre-right government's lead over the left-wing opposition shrinking slightly but still winning a narrow majority in parliament.
If neither side wins a clear majority, however, the Sweden Democrats could, even with just a handful of seats, play kingmaker and could even make it so difficult to govern that new elections would need to be called, observers say.

The SD playing games to show themselves as innocents by playing dirty games in the last parts so they can get some votes and spread the hate among the peaceful Swedes.
The SD will turn the Sweden into hate heaven. inside jobs are a new trick to blame others.
This is the circle. Spreading hatred, receiving it, spreading receiving!! That's fact for all those who find their ways in scaremongering!
I think you are giving too much credit to these idiots from SD. They are not smart enough.
I say the best thing that could happen to SD on Monday is that they don't make it into the government. Because if they do LIFE is probably going to be PRETTY tough for them and their supporters.
Hate breads hate.
Yes I am a middle eastern, yes I am black African, yes I am a Muslim, yes I am a Jew, yes I am a Catholic, yes I am a pole, yes I am even a Mexican/latin American like you.
It is obvious you support SD so. Go and have another Tamale with Churros and a little frijoles , while I fight the fight for you.
Have some cojones and stop sitting on the fence. Make a stand or shut your trap.
Callate cabron.
קהילת המודיעין הישראלית
Yes I come from Mideast. We attack tiger and eat them raw. But those who you are supporting are very peaceful they just want to reprogramme the genes of Africans because they are programmed to rape. They also want to ban all Muslims!!!
And yes state of democracy in Sweden is shambles. Their websites are attacked some thing that has never happened in any other country!!! Please leave this undemocratic country!!
I just read a very reputable doctor in Sweden now says that the attack on the SD in Malmö was probably made up. He thinks there was no attack and the guy carved the Swastika on his own forehead.
Wow, maybe you are right????
These guys are a joke.
Have some cojones and stop sitting on the fence. Make a stand or shut your trap.>>>
I think my stance is obvious so what the f are you talking about? Try countering my argument with something factual and I'll listen.
The sabotage is probably disrupting an otherwise effective campaign to those already converted to their cause, but otherwise making a big martyr out of the SD.
Although it’s not until tomorrow that we will know how really big or little they are, perhaps out of all proportion to their numbers or their importance the SD has been very visible in representing Sweden in the Islamophobic media.
Looka here:

Leaves you wondering, who are the Muslim and “invandra” candidates of the other political parties and why we are not hearing so much about them or from them….
Anyway, at long last tomorrow (the day of judgement) is already here!
Now not only they are racist, the corrupt too! Maybe this hacking is also a show!!

@Syftfel
If your standards are limited to vote for those who think Africans are genetically programmed to rape, or believe Muslims should be banned and attack themselves to draw attention then it's hard to talk about Dhimmi!!! So keep to your values and you'll see how the majority of Sweden think on Monday!! ;)
You mean in the UK, the racist parties also attacked themselves and hacked their own websites? Inteeresting!
The BNP? Are you serious. You mean the old members of EDL dont ya?
The neo-nazi, hatefilled, white trash? A little like the neo-nazi who call themselves SD now.
No, we dont want that in Sweden, but you are welcome to visit us occasionally.
Yes, my muslim "pals", feel the fear creeping in and know that you have nobody to blame but yourself.
You have pushed your beliefs and agenda... and pushed and pushed and pushed till we are just tooo dammn sick of it - why do you think SD has such a strong following? Our "regular" politicians are cowards and weak but someone decided to stand up and the people are speaking.
I just wonder if we can find a text from Hitler's speeches and then if we can replace Jews and Judaism with Muslims and Islam. Then we have PorkForEveryone!
The support for SD is not high. It is just among low educated young boys who haven't really realized the danger of Nazism in their life. SD works based populism and scaremongering.
Low educated young boys? Hmm Sounds to me a lot like @Porkforeveryone.
We are having a pork roast in a few hours.
He is so sexy when hes mad.....
"scare mongering" you say? lets see (as I copy from my other post) :
Islam preached by a pedophile: check.
Behead all those who dont think like you: check.
Ok to rape and kill all those of a different religion: check
Make people antisocial by dressing your wives(!) in a black tent : check
Go to other countries and try to bend them to adjust to you instead of you adjusting to them: check
Take total advantage of the welfare system: check
Breed like... well, you know... :check
Behead people on film:check
Suicide bombers: check
Mass killings and genocide around the world:check
international terrorist acts (not just 9/11) :check
Call for the "wiping out" of a country: check
Religion founded on violence: check
While the Nazis spread lies about the Jews, please tell me which of the above are lies. To be honest, not just me but a LOT of us would like to know.
Be a good Muslim, educate us... you are allowed to ask your pedo prophet for help and then reply, we'll wait.
Yeah. But as I expected he is not even a Swede. He is just an immigrant who loves blondes and is afraid that some degree of darkness is mixed with the blondes of Sweden !!
Bon Appetit :)
Tsk tsk, no answers exist? Cant take up for the pedophile?
Then kindly dont comment if you are just going to skirt the issue.
Budt Ima shur dey dunt rike uee. (the blond Swedes I mean)
That's the problem isn't it. Bunch of spineless, ugly immigrants who can't get laid and blame others.
I knew there was a reason/ motive behind your hate.
Bravo, Its called "Proving a Negative".
Probably above his head.
They are bringing their baggage to this country. I'm done with these jerk offs.
Ciao.
Both of you sure are good Muslims, since you cant answer direct questions you skirt the questions completely and bring up strawmen or totally unrelated garbage.
Unfortunately I am not as forgiving as the Swedes in who's land I consider myself a guest (even though I have my citizenship here) so... here are the statements again, wheres the fud?

One more thing.
PORKY is more screwed up than I thought.
Maybe the psychology thing you suggested is a good idea.
Or he can go stand on the rail road tracks, and do everyone and himself a favor.
Look CAREFULLY at the results. Look.
In spite of the fact that SD did not get any TV time... In spite of the attacks of your brothers (as they are expected to) on any SD supporter. Take a good look at the results.
Now, of course the nazis are guilty here. Of course evil zionists sponsored each and every voter. Of course it is everyones', except muslim fault.
But in my opinion, here is the result of the violence. Here is the result of riots. Of car burning and firefighters stoning. Of group attacks on swedes and of "compis, kom igen" on Blocket.
It is currently only 20 mandates. But 20 mandates that will be HEARD in parliament. 20 mandates that will decide whether the government is in majority. 20 mandates that are going to OFFICIALLY talk about muslim immigration in Sweden and it's behavior.
I did not vote for them, but I am glad that part of these usually extremely tolerant people spoke their mind. Here is what you have done. Now deal with it.
@Dave N
You're not paying enough attention to your own country. The "hacker" who revealed all the confidential info and members details was ONE OF THEIR OWN - he was disgruntled about how the party was working, that Nick Griffin was just a puppet... so he, quite logically, released details of all their members. Hmmm.
