Farshid Arshid, the owner of Umi, recently took to Facebook to explain that the website for his elegant sushi destination restaurant has been hacked by an anti-Israel protest group. If you click on the website -- which is at "umiatlanta dot com," you will redirected to a black screen printed with multi-lingual protest messages and a recorded chant.

The group, which calls itself Team System Dz, has similarly hacked websites throughout the world.

Arshid also directs his Facebook friends to this explanatory article.
