NetDevilz, a Turkish hacker group has struck again and this time right at the top. Recently they hacked Photobucket and yesterday they attacked and defaced THE domains that should be secure – ICANN and IANA.
ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, and IANA, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, had their domains defaced with the message:
“You think that you control the domains but you don’t! Everybody knows wrong. We control the domains including ICANN! Don’t you believe us? haha :) (Lovable Turkish hackers group)”
You would think that the people “responsible for the global coordination of the Internet’s system of unique identifiers” and “the global coordination of the DNS Root, IP addressing, and other Internet protocol resources” would be secure from such attacks. If it can happen to them what can the little guy do? Evidently not much!
The hacked domains included icann.net; icann.com; iana-servers.com; internetassignednumbersauthority.com; iana.com.
With that info,
Safe Surfing!
