After having its website hacked by Islamic State extremists last month, owners of a trendy Stittsville food truck arrived on Tuesday morning to find the truck had been broken into overnight.
According to Craig Beaudry, co-owner of the Wiches Cauldron on Carp Road, thieves cut through the locks that kept the truck’s doors shut and targeted the cash register. He said they got whatever money was left in the register. While he wouldn’t say how much they took, he did admit it wasn’t much.
“We showed up today and noticed the locks on the ground. They were snipped. So, I opened our service window only to find that our cash register and our money was gone,” he said. “We don’t keep much cash in here. They didn’t take or touch anything else.”
The break in has forced the Wiches Cauldron to remain closed for the day while police investigate the scene for any evidence that may identify those responsible for the break in.
Beaudry says he plans to reopen on Wednesday.
The break-in marks a tumultuous month for the tiny specialty sandwich shop. Less than three weeks ago the shop’s website, which is used to advertise daily specials, was hacked by a group of Islamic State extremists. When he woke on June 24, Beaudry was greeted by black screen containing white and red font that reads, in part, “Hacked by Team System Dz. I am Muslim I love jihad I love Islamic State 3″, instead of his usual food-related content.
The group has been a headache for law enforcement officials all around the world in recent months. They use an extremely low-tech hacking technique to deface websites all over the Internet. The group uses a readily available piece of software that simply searches the Internet for unpatched web servers and then takes over those servers and slides in the group’s rant about the Islamic State.
According to Zone-h, an online security researcher that monitors online attacks as they unfold, as many as 1,504 websites around the world have been attacked by the group since Jan. 26.
There is no indication that the break-in and the hack are in any way related.
