NDCC Website defaced, 3rd attack on govt site since Dec


Hackers defaced another government Website before dawn Monday, this time victimizing the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC). A black screen with an image of a Linux terminal and a message greeted visitors to the NDCC Website before 4 a.m. Monday. “! Hacked By нєαят-Hunter ! ... ! Owned By By-Cr4zy ! ... Linux eagle.nocserver.net 2.6.9-78.0.5.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Oct 8 07:12:03 EDT 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux," read the message.

It was the first government site to be hacked this year, but the third since December. The image of the Linux terminal depicted the hackers logging in as root, or with administrator rights. It also indicated the last login was Dec. 30, 2009. However, the defaced page was taken offline as of 6 a.m. Monday. On December 30, the site of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Web site was defaced, with the offenders claiming to be an Indonesian group. [see: DSWD Website hacked] Visitors to the site were greeted with an image of the Grim Reaper and a message in Indonesian. “HACKED BY ANDRIECOM ... HACKER-NEWBIE.ORG, Indonesian Hacker-Newbie Community," the English parts of the messages on the defaced home page read. Ironically, the message when translated into English called for hope for the New Year. Also in December, the Department of Health’s Web site was hacked to show DOH Secretary Francisco Duque III blowing on “penises." Altered were Duque’s photos on the site’s home page and on a page featuring a DOH press release. The DOH eventually restored its original photo of Duque blowing on paper horns on its home page, but took down the defaced page. - LBG/RSJ, GMANews.TV
