ahmadinejadIran­ian Pres­i­dent Mah­moud Ahmadinejad’s Blog we dealt with last week has been hacked and defaced today. The deface­ment was noti­fied to Zone-​H by a group of crack­ers known as “Y Under­ground” that put down the web­site (based on Win­dows 2000 + IIS 5.0) using an attack report­edly based on a web appli­ca­tion loop­hole (uhm… yes, another one). 

The inter­est­ing thing is that the Y Under­ground group is from Iran, and appar­ently they chose their own president’s per­sonal blog to post mes­sages in sup­port of Iran­ian nuclear cam­paign . At first they posted a deface page report­ing only phrases in Farsi (our mir­ror is related to this) ‚ then they “updated” it some time later, post­ing also an Eng­lish slo­gan in sup­port of Iran’s wishes of nuclear glory.

Weird, isn’t it?

More details to come…
