Pied piper: Bill Gates with pie on his face in 1998 |
They rerouted visitors to an image of the Microsoft founder with pie on his face.
The previous targets of Peace Crew, a loosely-affiliated group of hackers, have included the BBC, NATO, Harvard University and NBA websites, with their motivations largely believed to be political.
In the case of the MSN New Zealand website, they posted messages reading "STOP THE WAR ISRAEL".
The image was taken in 1998 when Gates was hit with a pie by French anarchist Paul Godin.
MSN responded saying, they were working to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
