Defaced Website DNS Hijacking vulnerability hacker news KDMS Team Metasploit

Metasploit and Rapid7 DNS hijacked and Defaced by Kdms Team


The domains of Metasploit.com and its parent company rapid7.com had been hijacked and defaced by the Kdms Team.  They had previously also had taken down down several high profile computer security related targets.


Mr. HD Moore (Chief Research Officer of Rapid7 and Chief Architect of Metasploit) told EHN how the domain was hijacked.





And when asked if the Domains were back in their control he said "yes" and explained why some people are still seeing the deface page.



Please note that a DNS attacks DOES NOT affect the server of the hacked site in anyway. Anybody could fall victim to it . The blame belongs to the Registrar not Rapid7.


This shows how even if you have the strictest security mechanisms there is always a "weak spot" that could be exploited and more often than not it is the "Human" element that is weakest.

Avira, AVG, Alexa and WhatsApp websites hacked by KDMS Team



The hackers group who defaced the popular hosting website LeaseWeb has once again attacked top websites and left them defaced.

It includes the popular messaging service WhatsApp, top free antivirus AVG, Avira, Alexa(Alexa.net) and Porn website RedTube.

The whois data of the affected domains apparently shows that they are registered with Network Solution.


It appears hackers compromised the domain provider and changed the DNS data rather than attacking individual websites.

At the time of writing, the avira website still shows the defaced page whereas other websites are offline including avg.com.


AVG has confirmed to E Hacking News that "it has had a select number of online properties defaced as a result of our domain name system (DNS) registrar being compromised".

"A number of other companies appear to have been faced with the similar issue. The situation is being further monitored and assessed closely. Customers are our priority, the DNS records have been corrected and AVG is working hard to resume normal service levels to its customer base and continue to protect our customers and their privacy."
