Hackers for ISIL must be feeling pretty hungry. Or at least someone is thinking about food. Websites around the country have been hacked and someone claiming to be ISIL is taking the credit. They seem to hold a preference for restaurants in particular.

Two food establishments in Cincinnati — the Moerlein Lager House and the Montgomery Inn — were hacked. A black and white banner was placed above each of their websites announcing it was “Hacked by the Islamic State (ISIS).”

The text on the banner also read: "We are everywhere ;-)" (including the emoticon).

Another restaurant in Mississippi, The Shed Barbeque & Blues Joint, saw a similar attack. 

Speculation abounds:  Could it be a jihad against bad tabouli?  Given that those particular three restaurants serve ribs, maybe they were attacked for not being halal.

ISIL — or whoever is claiming to be them — hasn’t been exclusively invading websites for restaurants. The wrath also seems to have spread to other businesses including the Eldora Speedway in Dayton, Ohio, and two companies in St. Louis — MERS Goodwill and a digital agency named Elasticity.

As well as an internet radio site.

And an Art and Education site.

There is probably more to come.
