A number of government websites in the US state of Ohio, including that of Governor John Kasich, have been hacked to display a pro-IS message.<\/p>\n

It said President Donald Trump would be held accountable for “every drop of blood flowing in Muslim countries” and ended “I love Islamic state”.<\/p>\n

The hacking was carried out by a group calling itself Team System DZ.<\/p>\n

The Ohio governor’s website was down for maintenance for some time on Sunday, before coming back online.<\/p>\n

The message in the hacking attack contained an Arabic symbol and was written mainly in the black and white used in the flag of so-called Islamic State.<\/p>\n

The message on Mr Kasich’s site also played an Islamic call to prayer.<\/p>\n

The message read: “You will be held accountable Trump, you and all your people for every drop of blood flowing in Muslim countries.”<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for Mr Kasich, Emmalee Kalmbach, said in a statement: “As soon as we were notified of the situation, we immediately began to correct it, and will continue to monitor until fully resolved.”<\/p>\n

A number of other officials website were affected, including those of the Ohio Office of Health Transformation and the Ohio Department of Medicaid. They later came back online as well.<\/p>\n

However, the websites of Ohio’s First Lady Karen Kasich, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections and the Ohio Inspector General were still down for maintenance at midnight (04:00 GMT on Monday).<\/p>\n

\"Tweet\"<\/span><\/figure>\n

Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel posted a tweet telling “freedom-loving Americans” that radical Islam was “infiltrating the heartland”.<\/p>\n

The New York Post said the website of the New York state town of Brookhaven was also affected.<\/p>\n

The group known as Team System DZ has carried out a number of hacking sprees in the past, many carrying anti-Israel messages.<\/p>\n

The US is currently holding high-level inquiries into alleged cyber attacks by Russia aimed at influencing the result of last year’s presidential election.<\/p>\n
