Politically motivated hackers calling themselves "the Internet Liberation Front (ILF)" have defaced six Republican web sites on January 18.
On the modified pages, it read ??In solidarity with the billions around the world who are being oppressed under the Bush agenda, The Internet Liberation Front has hacked and defaced six Republican websites who push forward the sick and violent ideology of warfare, capitalism, and profit over people.? followed by an anti-Bush and anarchist text. The hacktivists probably exploited the well-documented vulnerability in phpBB, which was widely used by crackers and worms over the past weeks.
For those who remember, the ??Internet Liberation Front? or ??ILF? brings us ten years back in the computer security history, when they hacked into companies like Pipeline, ibm, at&t.. and tons of other accomplishments including the defacement of the ??Hackers? movie homepage during a defcon conference (a mirror is available here: http://www.attrition.org/mirror/attrition/1995/08/12/www.mgmua.com-hackers/ ), even though the ??group? seemed to be an international movement of independant hackers who shared the same ideas, like explained in the defacement: ??We are not a specific group of people. We are a generation of hackers who feel indignation and want to build a world free from parasitic bosses and rulers. All who want to join the resistance movement are free to use the name ILF. We are everywhere?.
What we can notice is that the defacements were quite organized, especially in the way they were done to hit the media and to look for worldwide supporters to help them spread their message.
The defaced sites were:
www.arizonayr.com
www.freedominstitute.ca
www.republicanfirst.com
www.Students4Freedom.com
www.freedominion.ca
www.CollegeConservative.com
January 20 05:00 GMT: 3 of them are still defaced, but a mirror is also available here: http://www.zone-h.org/en/defacements/mirror/id=1996392/
Peace
