Kevin Mitnick suffers classic Web defacement
Before Web sites were compromised to spread Malware, the typical form of attack was defacement. As a prank, in the main, what would happen is an attacker would make changes to a site's layout, such as add images or text, in order to make a statement, embarrass someone, or simply prove the attack could be done.
Bearing that in mind, it would appear that Kevin Mitnick, an ex-hacker turned security consultant, has suffered from a rather grotesque defacement.
In an e-mail to the Full Disclosure mailing list early on Monday, the following subject line appeared: “Kevin Mitnick the security [professional extraordinaire] got mantrained.”
And, someone using a Hush Mail account, wrote that, “[it] appears that all of [Kevin Mitnick's] sites have been replaced with a pornographic image which shows him having buttseckz with 3 other men.”
The image, which The Tech Herald will not publish in its original form, but in the censored format below, is openly obscene.
The links reportedly defaced include: kevinmitnick.com and mitnicksecurity.com, which were both working at the time this article was posted. [They have since been restored to working order.] However, only http://kevinmitnick.com showed the actual defacement, the other site was free of any alterations.
