cyberwar 4/01 some thoughts
First it is quite funny to see that also scam and spamsites have been hacked, as well as sex and pornsites. Don't see any link to the campaign, but what the hell, maybe those sites will go away afterwards.
Secondly the number of attacks is around 600 for today but you have to take into account that these are only those that have been listed at one specific site. It could be more, but this is an indication.You could say that this seems not much and it ain't that much. It shows that these attacks are or too obvious and being stopped or that the real hackers are concentrating on other targets that aren't in the news yet but soon can be. (remember that the Chinese were inside the US military networks for some time before being discovered ?)
Thirdly we see that on that site the Maroccan and Algerian hackers are quite busy. You should remember that these may also be French based or are using french webservices. The last thing is quite stupid because under french cyberlaw the French police can easily ask access to these emailaccounts.
Fourth a new attack is against windows servers using asp.
Fifth we saw some attacks against dutch sites, danish sites, english, american, romanian sites, russion sites, iceland sites. Maybe they are re-using some old listing. So if you were hacked the last year, you can maybe expect that you will be revisited again. The .be domain is for the moment not under a targeted attack, although we can't count on Google to find them soon enough. This is the reason that we miss zone-h. It was far more complete that this arabian defacement mirror.
and a last thought is that it is really astonishing to see that the Israeli and jewish webadministrators have not yet understood that they are full launched attacks and didn't take all the necessary precautions. I know it ain't fun to take parts of your website down or to desactivate interactive and member functions but for the moment it is the best thing to do.
and one other interesting bit of news from yahoo
"Palestinians said the Israeli military broke into broadcasts on the Hamas TV channel, Al Aqsa, appealing to Palestinians not to agree to serve as human shields for the militants. The message read, "Israel is acting only against Hamas and has no interest in harming you."
