Cuba: Independent News Site Is Hacked on First Day Cuba: Independent News Site Is Hacked on First Day
(about 1 hour later)
Cuba’s first major independent general-interest news outlet in five decades was hacked on Wednesday shortly after its debut. Yoani Sánchez, Cuba’s best-known dissident blogger, began the site and accused the government of sending readers of the site inside Cuba to a page dedicated to scathing criticism of her. Outside Cuba, access to the site, www.yoanislandia.com, appeared to be unimpeded. The government has made no official comment on the site.

The government has made no official comment on the site, though it considers all dissidents to be mercenaries paid by the United States to stir up trouble.
