Hackers appear to have infiltrated the Web sites of more than 20 House members overnight, replacing their usual pages with attacks on President Barack Obama.

The home page for the Republicans on the House Oversight Committee this morning reads: "F—- OBAMA!! Red Eye CREW !!!!! O RESTO E HACKER !!! by HADES; m4V3RiCk; T4ph0d4 — FROM BRASIL."

Similar messages appear on the home pages of Reps. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), Phil Roe (R-Tenn.), Charlie Wilson (D-Ohio), John Tierney (D-Mass.), Charles Gonzales (D-Texas), Brian Baird (D-Wash.), John Barrow (D-Ga.), Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), John Boccieri (D-Ohio), John Olver (D-Mass.), Bobby Bright (D-Ohio), Mike Coffman (R-Colo.), Travis Childers (D-Miss.), Andre Carson (D-Ind.), John Campbell (R-Calif.), Suzanne Kosmas (R-Fla.), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and other members.

The apparent attacks, first reported by Hotline's Erin McPike, come days after four men were arrested for attempting to tamper with the phone lines in Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu's New Orleans office.
