You know, that just has to suck. I was a little late getting around to talking about this story (and dozens of others). The hackfest free for all seems to continue unabated. A zero day is at the root of this problem apparently. One that it isn’t in the wild.
From ITNews:
A 50 MB backup of 2646 files from what reportedly was NATO’s Apache Tomcat servlet was posted on a cyberlocker to prove the attack.
Online group Team Inj3ct0r claimed responsibility for the attack under the auspices of the AntiSec hacking movement and said it was made in response to alleged “nuclear weapons its development (sic) and financing”.
In a text file note left on the server, the group said:
“NATO lamers! I’ve been watching you day and night since then! W00t! Your Machines rooted! Servers restored to default! what else! F**k you and your crimes! and soon enough all your stupid ideas will be published on WikiLeaks!
Greetz.. I stand alone :)”The attack is the second to hit NATO in as many months, following an attack on a third party NATO bookshop in June.
Rather embarrassing for NATO to say the least.
