D'oh! Homer Simpson lands on hacked Nokia site


For several hours Monday, a hacker defaced a developer site of Finnish telecoms giant Nokia, redirecting visitors to a customs site featuring cartoon character Homer Simpson. Visitors to the Nokia developer community site were redirected to a Pastehtml.com page, the hacker taunting Nokia for being hacked with Homer in his signature "facepalm" pose.

Visitors to a sub-domain of Nokia's developer site were redirected to a custom page with an image of cartoon star Homer Simpson doing his signature "D'oh!" facepalm pose. The page was taken offline as of early Tuesday (Manila time)
"LOL, Worlds number 1 mobile company but not spending a dime for a server security! FFS patch your security holes otherwise you will be just another antisec victim. No Dumping, No Leaking!!" read the message under an image of Homer Simpson. As of Monday afternoon (Manila time), the affected Nokia page (http://developer.nokia.com/Community/Discussion/ajax.php) still directed users to the site with the Homer Simpson image. But by Tuesday morning, the page was already taken offline. However, the custom page at Pastehtml was still online, and would occasionally resize a browser window displaying it. It contained the text, "Hacked by pr0tect0r AKA mrNRG." A separate article on The Hacker News said pr0tect0r AKA mrNRG also hacked Pakistan forum Defence.pk. The Hacker News also said that the hacker briefly defaced Nokia's developer subdomain (developer.nokia.com). — TJD, GMA News
