Kasperky Hacked!

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008


The official Malaysian Kaspersky Antivirus’s website has been hacked yesterday by a Turkish cracker going by the handle of “m0sted”.  Along with it, the same cracker hacked also the official Kaspersky S.E.S. online shop and its several other subdomains. 

The attacker reported “patriotism” as the reason behind the attack and “SQL Injection” as the technical way the intrusion was performed. Now possibly thousands of user records and credit cards are at risk of being sold for fraudulent purposes.

This is the reason why if you do frequent online stores, you should never save your online data with them.  If they have it, it can be stolen.  Most places give you the option.  NEVER say YES to this option.
