Pro-Palestinian hackers of KDMS Team have hijacked two more high-profile domains via DNS poisoning. Their latest targets are the websites of ESET (eset.com) and Bitdefender (bitdefender.com).
“We was thinking about quitting hacking and disappear again! But we said: there is some sites must be hacked. You are one of our targets. Therefore we are here,” the hackers wrote on the defaced sites.
“And there is another thing. Do you know Palestine? There is a land called Palestine on the earth. This land has been stolen by Zionist. Do you know it? Palestinian people has the right to live in peace. Deserve to liberate their land and release all prisoners from Israeli jails. We want peace,” they added.
Both Bitdefender and ESET have clarified that their systems haven’t been hacked.
“A group of pro-Palestinian activists were able to spoof a request to change the DNS settings for the ESET.com domain name servers, resulting in a defacement where visitors to the ESET.com website were redirected to one set up by the activist group,” ESET representatives stated.
“ESET responded immediately and the name server records were corrected minutes after the incident. The defacement site may have been visible for slightly longer due to the time taken for DNS changes to propagate. At the same time, we requested our registrar to bolster domain transfer security to ensure no similar incident will happen again,” they added.
“At no time was any ESET infrastructure component compromised, and no data or sensitive materials have been breached. ESET operations were not affected except for the visibility of the ESET.com website for a short period of time.”
Bitdefender has confirmed that their DNS records have been changed via an attack aimed at Register.com.
On Sunday, the hackers posted a message on Facebook to clarify that their attacks would continue.
“We have a list of targets, it’s not the end yet!” they said.
