Mitnick Freedom Welcomed by His Website Defacement
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
Kevin Mitnick, possibly the world's famous hacker, has received a "warm"
welcome for his return to the wired world. Just two weeks after he has
reconnected himself to the Internet, a group called Bugbear defaced his
company's web site (Defensive Thinking).
DETAILS
As can be seen here:
<http://www.zone-h.org/defaced/2003/01/30/www.defensivethinking.com/hacked.html> http://www.zone-h.org/defaced/2003/01/30/www.defensivethinking.com/hacked.html
Kevin Metnick's web site has been defaced, and its default web page
replaced with the following message:
"welcome back to freedom mr.kevin ;)
BugBear is trying to tell u have forget to secure your box, it was fun and
easy to break into your box ;)."
Some might see this as proof that any site can be hacked if enough
motivation is present. In our opinion, it proves that security experts
should not be sloppy when it comes to securing their own "fortress".
