Wellington - Hackers who attacked Microsoft New Zealand's news website left it with a cream pie on founder Bill Gates' face, Wellington's Dominion Post newspaper reported Wednesday on its website. Visitors to www.msn.co.nz on Tuesday found a blacked-out page with the words "Microsoft New Zealand hacked by Peace Crew," over a photo of a pie-decked Gates, the report said.

The paper quoted a source as saying the hackers attacked a server belonging to web-hosting company Domainz, which redirected traffic to a fake website.

It said the hackers were understood to be a pro-Palestinian group from Turkey thought to be responsible for attacks earlier this year on NATO and United States Army websites.
