ZMOG!! THE MITNICK GOTZ

OWNED!!

Is what read on the front page on four of Kevin Mitnick’s websites (defensivethinking.com, mitsec.com, kevinmitnick.com, mitnicksecurity.com). The target of Pakistani vandals. Mitnick’s hosting provider is Hoestedhere.net, who appears to be running Apache 1.3.34 on Linux with PHP 4.4.1 and FrontPage 5.0.2.2635 extensions. No word yeat on what attack vector they used.

This isn’t the first time one of Kevin’s sites was hacked. On Thursday January 30th 2003 and on Sunday February 23 2003 Kevin’s defensivethinking.com was hacked using, of all things, a n easily exploitable vulnerability in FrontPage. While, not entirely his fault it’s pretty funny to see an ex-hacker turned security consultant get hacked.

The attacker, FBH, has a pretty impressive record of 2317 defacements of which 453 were single ip and 1864 were mass defacements, web hosting companies usually (from zone-h.org).

Here is the archive of the hack at zone-h.org.
