Media Giant FOX Breached by @ThisIsGame0ver

Posted on January 3, 2013 by Lee J

fox_logo A hacker who uses the handle @ThisIsGame0ver has contacted us with a breach on the main FOX website. The breach has allowed @ThisIsGame0ver to access an old html file that has read/write access to it still. As a result the files contents has now been changed to the login credentials that allowed Game Over to access the server. www-fox_-com-default-htm-old_ It is not the first time FOX has come under attack from hackers but it is one of the first time anyone has successfully breached it for a minor defaced on the main site, no sub domains. At time of publishing the old html file was still publicly accessible https://www.fox.com/default.htm.old.
