Hacker wrecks 175 websites, leaves Facebook fan link
“An audacious hacker has defaced 175 Australian websites in an attack that links viewers to his personal website, email and Facebook fan page.
The hacker, who is described as a 26 year old male from Tunisia, launched the attacks after a Brisbane hosting provider — which Computerworld Australia will not name — left a permission level too low on an Apache server.
A manager at the provider said the exploit was present in an obscure program on the provider’s servers, which the hacker used in the mass defacements that included the hosting provider’s websites.
The hacker provided links to his Facebook, Myspace and Blogger accounts, along with a phone number based in Romania.”
