Accord­ing to the mir­ror infor­ma­tions, the server host­ing the web site was run­ning Win­dows 2000 and the defacer exploited a SQL injec­tion vul­ner­a­bil­ity.

20/12/2007 Written by minor

maskIt is no secret, that rad­i­cals and ter­ror­ists are using dif­fer­ent approaches to get new mem­bers and sup­port­ers. One of them is also Web and rad­i­cal web­sites and forums. Such web­sites pro­vide con­tent, that is intended to spread the ideas among vis­i­tors.

keysIt is well known to all of us — data theft or data loss is one of the night­mares. This year sto­ries brought embar­rass­ing inci­dent in UK, 25 mil­lion peo­ple, their per­sonal and bank details are at risk thanks two disks in mail.
