Hackers Crack ICANN Blog
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Mirror sites of “Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers” or ICANN, the organization that is responsible for assigning unique addresses so computers know where to find each other, was cracked by Turkish hackers. Within hours from the first crack, the organizations WordPress v2.5.1 powered blog was compromised. Although I believe version 2.3 was the worst, vulnerability issues are not strictly limited to any one version or blogging platform. So the only way to keep you site safe is by checking on it regularly for changes outside of what you authorize and keeping a good backup of your site!

Wow! Thanks for this information. It must be something in the Turkish water…I had a forum compromised a couple of years ago by yet another group of Turkish hackers.
