Late yesterday eve website classiccars.com had been defaced. While it's non shocking word that some other site of the millions on the meshwork has been hacked, this i was odd inwards that the defacement seemed to last nada to a greater extent than than an promotion for the hackers.

Ten years agone hacking for bragging rights was a somewhat mutual practice, but today most attacks are to a greater extent than soundless as well as are designed to pocket information. I poked to a greater extent than or less to notice out to a greater extent than virtually who was behind the assail as well as how they are compromising the safety of the sites they are attacking.

The ikon as well as stolen JavaScript code that made upward the novel habitation page were stored at a gratis spider web host. No surprises there, but I did discovery that they had an active IRC network.

The grouping had planted an IRC bot inwards a chat channel that they tin ascendancy to remotely scan networks for vulnerabilities. This provides them alongside a listing of hosts that are vulnerable to SQL injection as well as other techniques. It appears the bot uses search engines similar Google as well as Bing to notice potential targets.

The private who claimed to execute this hack seems relatively unknown, but others inwards the grouping are proud plenty of their run to disclose tales of their exploits. One member, r3cogniz3d, was skillful plenty to shipping his cry as well as photograph publicly on Facebook. He seems to actually similar the java store Cafe Lampu inwards Jambi, Indonesia, past times the way, as well as then halt past times as well as pay him a view if you're inwards the neighborhood.

My Indonesian is a lilliputian rough, but from what I tin tell, r3cogniz3d has made it his mission to recruit as well as learn others how to hack websites through SQL injection as well as has fifty-fifty posted a video tutorial on YouTube.

So what is the signal of all of this? Securing your websites against trivial attacks similar those perpetrated past times KubuCyber isn't difficult. The grouping is only next a formula to walk inwards through a door your spider web developers accept left ajar.

When you lot host a website alongside a provider, brand certain you lot notice out how they volition keep the host operating organisation as well as whether they produce safety audits of the sites they host. It may toll to a greater extent than coin to bargain alongside a developer who knows how to properly secure your site, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
