Marie Claire's South African website has been attacked by a group identifying themselves as 'Turkish Muslim Hackers' according to the hacked web page.

The home page only showed a handprint and the phrase "HACKED BY TREX", as well as an email address.

Jaco-Louis Groenewald, Marie Claire's PR manager, said that they are in the process of gathering information about the attack but that getting the website back up is the first priority.

As of writing, the website www.marieclaire.co.za is still offline.
