Renaming the page to, “Hacked IBGE”, the hackers also depicted the Brazilian National flag with an eye on it. The hack is said to have been carried out by a hacker outfit that calls itself ‘Fail Shell’. The group added that the hacks were a form of protest from a ‘nationalist group’ (Fail Shell), who wish to make Brazil a better country’.
