WHID 2009-25: Zone-H defaced
Whenever a defacement appears in WHID we need to explain why. After all isn't Zone-H a better repository of simple defacement. Well, yes, but according to this report by The Register this time it was Zone-H which was defaced. The defaced site seen on the right, is available here. I am sure it is just a matter of time before we add a WHID defacement to WHID...
The Register article is interesting due to another perspective: when discussing the future of Zone-H, John Leyden writes:
| But in an age where SQL injection assaults against legitimate sites are used to run drive-by download attacks without leaving any obvious signs of attack, perhaps the recording of blatant web graffiti attacks is no longer as relevant as it once was |
We at the Web Hacking Incident Database try to provide the answer for this new age. I hope we help.
