UPDATE 11.30 PM GMT
We are receiving 17,000 more defaced websites in these minutes. We
will account them in this news but we are not sure we will ever be
able to handle such a huge amount of notifications as to mirror all of
them we should possess a distributed platform such the one Google is
having on Akamai. The latest notified defacements seems to belong to
the ISP secureserver.com
******************************************
Yesterday the Turkish cracker going by the handle "Iskorpitx",
succesfully hacked 21,549 websites in one shot (plus 17,000 as our
last update) and defaced (on a secondary page) all of them with a
message showing the Turkish flag (with AtaTurk face on it) and reporting:
"HACKED BY iSKORPiTX
(TURKISH HACKER)
FUCKED ARMANIAN-FUCKED FRANCE-FUCKED GREECE-FUCKED PKK TERROR
iscorpitx, marque du monde, présente ses salutations à tout le monde. "
Iskorpitx controversial defacing activity started back in year 2003
being the first Turkish defacer ever. His defacing frenzy led him soon
to reach the "incredible" number of more than 117,000 hacked websites
some of them being even government websites of his own country. In
this last incident, it is not clear at which level the intrusion was
performed (root or webserver) as the fact that all the 21,549 websites
got defaced on a secondary page (site.com/ssfm/isko.htm) it is not
indicative given the particular Iskorpitx's modus operandi that sees
all of his hacks performed creating a subpage, regardless the
authorization level achieved on the attacked servers.
In the recent months Iskorptix has been taken as a model to be
imitated by a lot of young Turkish crackers, making Turkey the new
defacers kingdom, totaling nowadays more than 50% of the notified
defacements overall, surpassing the former defacers kingdom: Brazil.
Script Kiddies or Script Grannies? Iskorpitx is believed to be 45
years old, sometimes being helped for minor defacement activities by
another Turkish "senior cracker" (42) going by the handle of Metlak .
Despite the fact that the majority of Turkish defacers are performing
Islam-related hacks, this doesn't seem to be the leading motivation
for Iskorpitx.
