Recently the domain names has been the focus on hacking activity. Hackers found that hijacking a domain is as effective if not more than attacking the web site itself.
Are domain hacking a case of web hacking? should they be included in WHID? in this case it seems, according to the Wired report that the hack itself involved attacking the domains registrar's (Network Solutions) web interface.
However, we believe that the resulting "virtual" defacement of the web site by redirecting users to a fraudulent web site is still a web hack, even if the DNS hijacking is not web related. |
