Australian Government Website Hacked
Chris Jenkins writes in Australian IT:
A HACKER has made a successful and embarrassing attack on the website of federal Government agency Land and Water Australia.
The agency, which works in natural resource management, discovered its website had been defaced on Monday, but believed the attack could have been mounted over the weekend, a spokesman said.
Land and Water Australia (LWA) refused to make any comment on how its systems were breached.
While the LWA website's front page appeared be unaffected, any link on the page transferred the user to the website www.ejderwashere.com, which carried a picture of the Turkish flag and Turkish Gallipoli hero and founder of the modern Turkish state, Kemal Ataturk.
The webpage also carried the message "Hacked by Edjer/Turkish hacker/Edjer was here."
