F0rpaxe has struck again and this time defaced the web site of the Naval Training Systems Center with some serious rhetoric leveled against the FBI. DigiAlmighty defaced the Naval Surface Warfare Center which is slightly ironic as the Dahlgren division of NSWC helped develop the Co-operative Intrusion Detection Evaluation and Response program commonly referred to as the 'hacker tracker'. Additionally the web site for NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System has been defaced by the Keebler Elves. HNN has mirrors of all three sites available. (Mirrors provided by attrition.)

Two individuals have been arrested for violations of the Computer Misuse Act for their involvement in the recent web defacements of www.tcs.gov.sg and www.mediacity.com.sg (Television Corporation of Singapore). Apparently, they had forgotten to spoof their addresses before they committed the dirty act. They face a maximum of a S$10,000 fine and up to three years in jail. Speculation is that they used the new malformed .htr request bug in IIS to gain entry to the servers.

Well, something has been going on with the World vs. Kasparov Chess Match. Microsoft says it was technical difficulties due to server overload. We have a received a few emails saying that the site was indeed broken into. It is claimed that the password to the site was sniffed and that is how entry was gained. Unfortunately we are unable to confirm neither the MS position or the emails.

MSNBC has an excellent interview with Russ Cooper, the NTBugTraq administrator. If you subscribe to NTBugTraq, or even if you don't, you should read this.

"The Coolest CGI Magician On The Net", has been defaced with one of its own tricks. Thanks-CGI has been a recent victim of poor security. If you have purchased scripts from this service in the past you may want to double check them to be sure you are not vulnerable as well.
