Early Monday morning, the websites for about 800 US schools and school districts were hijacked and replaced with an image of Saddam Hussein on a black background, a recruitment video in Arabic and the statement “I Love Islamic State” in English, according Jim Brogan, director of technology services for schools in Gloucester County, Virginia.

This should all ring a bell, given that hackers going by the same name have been more or less making the same defacements for years. Namely, a photo of Hussein accompanied by an Arabic message seen on an IS flag that reportedly reads “There is no god but Allah” and “Mohammed is the Messenger of God.”

According to the International Business Times, the web hosting company that services the sites – SchoolDesk, in Atlanta – confirmed the attack and said that a group going by the name “Team System DZ” claimed responsibility.

SchoolDesk’s statement:

Our technical staff discovered that a small file had been injected into the root of one of the SchoolDesk websites, redirecting approximately 800 school and district websites to an iFramed YouTube page containing an audible Arabic message, unknown writing and a picture of Saddam Hussein.
