14 DAY TRIAL // The official websites of the US National Weather Service (weather.gov) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the US Department of Commerce (noaa.gov) were breached by a hacker that goes by the name of Codeinsec.
The hacker didn’t provide any details regarding the purpose for which the sites were breached, but he leaked a sample of data obtained from the organizations’ servers. The Pastebin file published by the hacker contains server information and other data that proves he managed to gain access.
Codeinsec claims that he plans on breaching other similar sites in the near future.
In the past few weeks, a lot of US government websites were breached for apparently no reason, in many cases the attackers stating that the hack was a way of forcing site administrators to patch up the vulnerabilities in the sites.
