December 8th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

The websites of NASA’s Instrument Systems and Technology unit and Software Engineering division were hacked. The screenshots as a proof are online.

Its been said that Hackers taken advantage of SQL Injection flaws and poor access controls in mounting the attack, reports Gunter Ollmann, an ex-IBM security expert who is now VP of Research at security firm Damballa.

The details including the screenshots are available here.

The hacker says that. He didin’t alter anything in the website. He seems to be having the handle c0de.breaker.



He says that,

“I didn’t want to make something bad! Only to show as nasa have many vulnerable subdomains to SQLI, XSS, etc”

After all, not all hackers are Black Hats. :D
