The site initially went down a little after 1 AM EST with a message of "Hi" on the homepage, and for a while seesawed between coming back up, being newly defaced, and showing a "We'll be back shortly" message.]]> http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2010/01/techcrunched-techcrunch-the-victim-of-a-defacement/feed/ 3 http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2010/01/baidu-com-the-latest-victim-of-iranian-cyberarmy/ http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2010/01/baidu-com-the-latest-victim-of-iranian-cyberarmy/#comments Tue, 12 Jan 2010 03:11:23 +0000 Prefect http://praetorianprefect.com/?p=2920 DNS attack on Twitter last month, hijacked the domain of Chinese search engine Baidu.com.]]> http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2010/01/baidu-com-the-latest-victim-of-iranian-cyberarmy/feed/ 21 http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2009/11/not-the-haus-of-gaga-too/ http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2009/11/not-the-haus-of-gaga-too/#comments Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:20:58 +0000 Prefect http://praetorianprefect.com/?p=1723 @ladygaga was cracked in to and a series of messages added to her tweet stream. This is the second high profile Twitter account to be cracked in the last few days, on Friday the account of pop singer Britney Spears, @BritneySpears, started professing sympathy for the devil. The Lady Gaga one is interesting though, because like an homage to old school cracks of the past, the attackers appear to have left their name. Further these are two high profile accounts broken into after Twitter has implemented at least three major changes to their web site's authentication process.]]> http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2009/11/not-the-haus-of-gaga-too/feed/ 6
