CASINOMEISTER WATCHDOG SITE HACKED
Someone with a thing about auctions?
Popular portal and watchdog site Casinomeister was hacked at the weekend by a person or persons unknown who, according to Zone-H attacked several other sites in the same timeframe, mainly those that had carried auctions.
In Casinomeister's case, a script in the Casinomeister Auction section was found to have a security hole which the hacker exploited. Auctions are not a regular Casinomeister feature, but one had been held earlier this year to raise funds for the Asian Tsunami victims.
Fortunately, in this case not too much damage was done. The home page was defaced, necessitating a site shutdown whilst webmaster and owner Bryan Bailey sorted the mess out.
"I shut the site down and had it removed from the server, and I am now in the process of uploading the entire site with nice clean files from my harddrive," Bailey told his members. "I don't want to have any hidden trojans or worms stashed any place. All databases went untouched since they are located elsewhere."
The site was soon back up again.
