14 DAY TRIAL // Pakistani hackers of Team Madleets have defaced another series of high-profile websites via a DNS hijack attack. This time, the targets are domains from the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Barbuda, Suriname, and Saint Lucia.
The Pakistani group has managed to deface the domains by hacking the systems of the NICs responsible for operating the domain name registries for Antigua and Barbuda, Suriname, and Saint Lucia.
Cyber-N has a complete list of the impacted domains. The defaced Suriname sites are audi.sr, blackberry.sr, AVG.sr, bing.sr, microsoft.sr, mastercard.sr, intel.sr, microsoftwindows.sr, msn.sr, philips.sr, rollsroyce.sr, rolls-royce.sr, symantec.sr, vodafone.sr and samsung.sr.
The affected Antigua and Barbuda websites are samsung.com.ag, orange.com.ag, cola.ag, oracle.co.ag, ibm.ag, canon.ag, clarion.ag, fujitsu.ag, hitachi.ag, and toshiba.ag.
Bmw.lc, toshiba.lc, hitachi.lc, honda.lc, samcung.co.lc, fujitsu.com.lc and canon.lc are among the defaced Saint Lucia domains.
It’s worth noting that these sites haven’t actually been hacked. Instead, the hackers have redirected the visitors of these domains to their defacement page via DNS poisoning.
At the time of writing, the websites are still defaced.
