Website for US deportation airline GlobalX defaced by hackers

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The airline at the center of President Donald Trump’s campaign of deportations to an offshore detention center in El Salvador has had one of its websites defaced by hackers.

A message posted to a subdomain of GlobalX said that the site had been hijacked by hackers operating under the banner of “Anonymous,” a label often chosen to evoke rebellious cyber activism.

GlobalX’s fleet of aircraft played a key role in the Trump administration’s deportation of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador in March despite a judge’s order that the planes be turned around.

GlobalX didn’t return a message seeking comment on the defacement.
