14 DAY TRIAL // More and more trojans pop up daily on sites and maliciously try to infect computers for different purposes. But all hackers have to start somewhere - It seems that a newbie black-hatter tried to hit a site, but couldn't do it right.
The site we are talking about belongs to The Bill, a popular British Tb series. As I've seen on Websense, what this wannabe-hacker tried is to compromise the site and laden with malicious JavaScript code meant to infect visitor with a trojan. The thing is, the aggressor was what is called in web slang, a n00b and couldn't even input code properly. His sloppiness caused the code not to launch. Why? Because he put it in the wrong section of the website. I guess that after the article appeared on Websense, this guy became the laughing stock of the hacker world.
The code is still there, however, but still doing nothing... I think this just might be a hacker in training, as the site he attacked is ranked around 238.000 in the world and around 11.000 in the UK so, even if he did successfully infect it - what's the use? Now, when you go and hack something like Monster or Blogger, now that's something, but The Bill? Please!
Now, if all hackers were this sloppy, there would be no more serious problems and also, I would probably be out of a job, but what really concerns me is that this would-be-hacker is not a lonely case. This guy, as well as his peers are bound to get better at this and one day be a real threat, that's why security systems need to be improved and these malicious users need to be tracked down and stopped now, before they do some serious damage.
