The website for teachers and students at one of China’s most prestigious universities, Tsinghua University, was apparently attacked by ISIS hackers at about 10 pm last night.

According to Sina, some pages had accompanying music after being clicked. The music contained Islamic scriptural chants with the lyrics “Allah is great, I am not afraid of death, sacrifice is my ultimate goal.”
