Never a dull moment II...

[William Knowles <wk () C4I ORG>]

Well this has to be one of the larger mass defacements of State and
Federal government NT servers in recent memory for a 24 hour period.
Like the last time Pentaguard went on a defacing spree, All the
compromised machines were running Windows NT & were using IIS/4.0 for
their webservers. The defacements were all done by Pentaguard.

Makes me wonder if the boys and girls with Pentaguard read this
wonderful FUD article in the days leading to Y2K...

http://www.technologypost.com/Resources/Y2k/Article/20000103103004432.asp

'IT security firm Para-Protect has warned that hackers are using the
Y2K issue and the quiet New Year period to stage a series of attacks
on computer systems.'

and figured with the long Memorial Day weekend in the United States,
that it would be the perfect time to compromise eight NT servers.
