This doesn't seem like it's anything that affected users' cyber safety. It was a graffiti attack on the landing page, which was vulnerable to these attacks (because it seemed to have been overlooked during patching operations). Politics aside (because the messages were allegedly horrific, and hate pisses me off), this is basically spray painting a giant phallic object on the side of the building. Disgusting, should be severely reprimanded, but ultimately harmless.

Or did I misunderstand?
