[sdnog] ISC website hacked

[Fahd Batayneh]

It seems to be a trend for the online world to go wild during the holidays 
seasons. Please read 
http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Why-hackers-thrive-during-holiday-season-5112534.php 
from earlier this year.

P.S. I am enjoying the discussions that are taking place in the various 
threads on the sdNOG mailing list. Keep it up!

Subject: [sdnog] ISC website hacked



Greetings all,



anyone who's recently visited the ISC.org website, please check your PC.



"The website for the Internet Systems Consortium, which develops the BIND DNS 
and ISC DHCP tools, has been hacked.

Anyone who recently browsed ISC.org is urged to check their PC for malware as 
miscreants booby-trapped the site to infect visitors. The website has been 
replaced by a placeholder page warning netizens of the attack.

ISC.org served pages using WordPress, and either that CMS or one of its 
plugins or support files was exploited to compromise the web server, it seems.

Miscreants had managed to exploit some part of the CMS to redirect visitors to 
a page serving the Angler Exploit Kit. This package attempts to infect Windows 
PCs using security holes in Internet Explorer, Flash and Silverlight."
