Distribute.IT has claimed that the 25-year-old man arrested in Cowra yesterday for allegedly hacking wholesale internet provider Platform Networks is believed to be the perpetrator behind the disastrous attack on Distribute.IT in June that led to the loss of data for over 4000 customers. The police started an investigation after the University of Sydney website was hacked in January, the first in a series of hacks that it believes to have traced back to the same man — an unemployed truck driver called David Cecil who the Australian Federal Police (AFP) alleges taught himself the skills required. http://www.zdnet.com.au/distributeit-claims-evil-behind-hack-339319324.htm _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () datalossdb org) Archived at http://seclists.org/dataloss/ Unsubscribe at http://datalossdb.org/mailing_list Learn encryption strategies that manage risk and shore up compliance.
