Santiago: Hackers attacked the Chilean defence ministry's website and posted a supposed message from the Islamic State jihadi group, officials said Tuesday.

The hack affected the main page of the ministry's website and the image of a masked individual appeared around 10.30 p.m Monday with the words "hacked" and "Sadam Husein", and the messages "We are ISIS, Don't forget me" and "Allah is the only God." The attack lasted just a few minutes and ministry officials were able to quickly regain control of the website.
