Acer India’s website acer.co.in has been hacked by a Turkish Hacker Group, Maxney. The site has been defaced and is facing a massive leakage of data. Over 20000 user credentials and information in the XLS format has been claimed to be leaked and put up on Rapidshare as a 41MB compressed file. The data appears to be a complete server extraction within two folders, says the source.
The defacement appears to a protest against the Israeli actions.
The defacement was not a complete index rewrite, but more so a add-on which has effected the following websites:
- http://acn.acer.co.in/index.html
- http://adn.acer.co.in/index.html
- http://aln.acer.co.in/index.html
- http://asn.acer.co.in/index.html
- http://humanet.acer.co.in/index.html
- http://select.acer.co.in/index.html
- Etc.
Acer India is now aware of the hack and has taken the site down. At the time of writing, the website is still offline.
Via.
