Profile

The organization, known also as Americanmuslim, is based in the United States and operates as a provider of web hosting and server infrastructure primarily for human rights advocacy groups, professional services, and community organizations. It hosts websites for a range of clients including medical practices, law firms, real estate agencies, and Arab-Muslim advocacy organizations. The organization’s mission appears to center on supporting civil rights and humanitarian causes through reliable online presence. It distinguishes itself by focusing on serving NGOs and advocacy groups that promote human rights, particularly those affecting Muslim communities. The hosting environment it maintains was described by its provider Novocam as sophisticated, indicating a level of technical capability in managing multiple client sites on shared infrastructure. While specific details about ownership, parent companies, or subsidiary relationships are not disclosed in the available sources, the organization is headquartered in the United States and continues to operate its services following incidents such as the 2016 breach.

The American Human Rights Council (Americanmuslim) remains committed to its human rights advocacy work despite cybersecurity challenges. The incident in September 2016 resulted in the defacement of the organization's own website and 62 other sites hosted on the same server. The attacker used the alias MuslimLeets (also known as Muj4hida) and posted messages urging rejection of Western culture and advocating jihad. Novocam, the hosting provider, characterized the breach as its most sophisticated to date despite frequent hacking attempts. Law enforcement investigated the incident, and the organization affirmed its intention to continue advocacy after restoring services from backups.
