The latest target from the group calling themselves the Pakistani Cyber Army was the site for the Central Bureau of Investigation in India – http://cbi.nic.in/.

Almost 4 days after the defacement, the site still appears to be down.

Close to four days after the site of India’s key investigation agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), was hacked and defaced, the web site is still inaccessible to users.

The CBI is doing a thorough security audit, and plugging all holes to prevent another hack, Vinita Thakur, a spokeswoman said on Tuesday. She didn’t say when that would be complete, and the site restored.

The web site of the CBI was hacked and defaced on Friday night. The hackers calling themselves the “Pakistani Cyber Army” left a message saying that the attack was in revenge for similar Indian attacks on Pakistani sites.

The CBI’s IT systems were not compromised by the hack, as the web site and the CBI’s computer systems are separate, Thakur said.

They say they are doing a thorough audit and they are going to plug all the holes, but in reality – we know that’s not true because it’s not possible. They both seem to be stuck in a catch 22 situation as both the Indian and Pakistani sides continue with revenge attacks for the previous defacement.

Almost immediately after this attack the Indian Cyber Army executed another hack and deface job to retaliate. And well, whatever happens after this – it’s not going to be pretty for either side.

The information that the hackers had access to was public information, she added.

The border dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir has often spilled online, with both sides attempting to hack each other’s web sites.

The web site of Pakistan’s Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority was hacked on Saturday by a group called “Indian Cyber Army” in retaliation for the CBI web site hack, according to media reports from Pakistan.

The web site which displayed the message “This Account has been suspended” late Saturday, has since been restored.

The Pakistani site that was attacked is back up and accessible to the public again, but as of now I’m still seeing some database access error messages in the sidebar and at the top of the page – http://www.ogra.org.pk/.

My guess would be that this is not going to stop any time soon.

A while back Microsoft UK got hacked by some Saudi Hackers, Microsoft is always one of the top targets for renegades and ‘cyber-terrorists’ as the high profile nature of the company can give some publicity to their causes.

This was less than a month after Technet got owned.

I don’t think they are ever going to lay off MS.

Saudi hackers manged to deface a page on Microsoft’s UK web site last week, recording the techniques they used in an online video.

The software giant’s sites are periodically hit by acts of digital graffiti. In this case, however, the defacement gang unusually decided to document its attack.

A video illustrating SQL Injection flaws affecting www.microsoft.co.uk, used to insert extra HTML code that formed the basis of the attack, was posted online. Details of how this might be done would be useful fodder for hackers so it shouldn’t come as any particular surprise to learn that the video (posted on unbase.com) was pulled over the weekend.

I’d say the site is still pretty insecure and is likely to get owned again.

According to Zone-h, microsoft.co.uk’s externally hosted website remains potentially vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting and SQL injection attacks. It bases this conclusion on debug errors generated by scripts on the site.

Microsoft.co.uk is run using IIS6 on a series on Windows 2003 servers, according to Netcraft. ®

Ah cyberwar, cyber terrorism, efforts are ramping up, more sites are going down.

The war in Lebanon is now showing its consequences in the digital world and a huge number of websites has been attacked and defaced as a protest against the invasion of Lebanon by Israel.

Today two NASA websites were attacked as well. The intrusion was carried out by the Chilean group of crackers known as Byond Hackers Crew through a leak in the SQL Injection they entered the system and subtracted user names, passwords and e-mails from the NASA web server.

Seems like a pretty straight forward attack..but a high profile government site being prone to SQL injection that allow admin escalation?

That’s pretty bad..

After that these information had been stolen, they managed in entering the administrative area by using an administrator user ID and password , and finally they made the defacement replacing the homepage with their message.

This group goes with the others that in last days carried out attacks against governmental and commercial websites both from America and Israel, whereas other blackhat groups attacked Israeli websites provoking a denial of service (DDoS) of that particular webpage.

Let’s hope things don’t boil over to attacking powerstations or anything that will cause collateral damage.

Israeli hackers have decided to ‘help’ and join the war against Palestine.

The hackers group that calls itself “IDF” (which also means Israeli Defence Force) has hacked dozens of sites, erased the site content and replaced it the index with a picture of the Lebanon destruction that is made by Israeli Defence Force as an answer for the Palestinian terror in the past few days.

Above the picture they left a text saying “You touch Israel, We touch you”

Ticketcharge.com.my, a Malaysian website that sells event tickets online appears to have been hacked. Forgot to take a screenshot of it but this screenshot from google cache taken today can be seen below. This happened over the weekend or perhaps earlier.
