It happened Wednesday morning when someone replaced the top story about the 1971 slaying of a state police patrolman with material that expressed support for Islamic militants and warned Albuquerque residents that their secrets were being collected through mobile devices.

The website was taken down for several hours and the material was removed.

The Journal’s director of information systems, says the newspaper’s servers were not breached and the alterations appeared to be limited to the one story.
