As of today, Critical Security was hacked and defaced and left with a message on it's index page:

"uR 4dm1nZ have weak passw0rdszzz, supp0rt pr0j3kt-m4yh3mcat index.html@#@, x0x0x0x0x wuz h3r3"


CS (criticasecurity), is or was a long standing security website/forum that discussed various aspects of computer related security issues. CS was previously an adjoined project of Hack This Site and reasons for the hack have still not been made clear.


Within the last month, the activities of the anti-sec movement on hacker-based websites (blackhat-forums, astalavista, imageshack O_o) have contributed to asked questions as to who hacked CS and the motives behind it. Although, reference to project mayhem was made, time will only tell the motives behind the 'hack' and reasons (if any) why the site has been targeted.


Furthermore, the Forum has undergone recent upgrades, improving the aesthetics of the web page's template. However, due to these upgrades, bugs have been present and the site has been undergoing management. Whether or not this is related, is unknown, but Critical Security it seems, has some critical security issues of their own.

The website of Australia's official censorship board was hacked and taken offline today in protest of proposed mandatory ISP-level censorship of websites. This is shortly after WIKILEAKS released the secret proposed censorship list and a German resident's house was raided for having his name in the wikileaks.de WHOIS data. The hack(tivist)er added this text to the center of the page: "This site contains the information about the boards that have the right to CONTROL YOUR FREEDOMZ. This classification board has the right to not just classify content (the name is an ELABORATE TRICK), but also the right to DECIDE WHAT IS AND ISN'T APPROPRIATE and BAN CONTENT FROM THE PUBLIC. We part of an ELABORATE DECEPTION from CHINA to CONTROL AND SHEEPIFY the NATION, to PROTECT THE CHILDREN. All opposers must HATE CHILDREN and therefore must be KILLED WITH A LARGE MELONS during the PROSECUTION PARTIES IN SEPTEMBER. Come join our ALIEN SPACE PARTY. As of the writing of this article, the hacked website is still showing up as unavailable.
