Biggest. Web Defacement Attack. Evar!
Posted by massnerder on May 19, 2006
Stolen from Sunblet:
Yesterday the Turkish cracker going by the handle "Iskorpitx", succesfully hacked 21,549 websites in one shot (plus 17,000 as our last update) and defaced (on a secondary page) all of them with a message showing the Turkish flag (with AtaTurk face on it) and reporting:
"HACKED BY iSKORPiTX
(TURKISH HACKER)
FUCKED ARMANIAN-FUCKED FRANCE-FUCKED GREECE-FUCKED PKK TERROR
iscorpitx, marque du monde, présente ses salutations à tout le monde. "
Link.
Wow. Just…wow. I wonder how long it took to accumulate that many compromised sites? I also wonder how many of the sites were on the same server? I haven't fully looked into this to see what the deal is. I'll try to later: back to work.
