Hacker Group Defaces Hundreds of Websites After Hacking UK Hosting Firm

Posted on February 26, 2017 by Dissent

Catalin Cimpanu reports:

A hacking crew that goes by the name of National Hackers Agency (NHA) has defaced 605 websites in one go after they managed to get access to a server from UK hosting firm DomainMonster.

The attacks, brought to Bleeping Computer’s attention by a member of another hacking crew, took place on Tuesday, February 21, and were all cached via Zone-H, a service that archives defaced websites.

All defaced websites were hosted on the IP address 109.68.38.20, registered to Mesh Digital, the legal name of DomainMonster.com, a company that provides domain registration, website building, and website hosting services.
