"Разширяване" на интернет-ъ (2-ра част)

Преди няколко дена споменах, че ICANN (организацията, която се занимава с domain names в интернет, най-общо казано) е решила вече окончателно, че интернета ще се разширява с новите IP-та, според които ....

днес обаче прочетох как сайта на тази организация е бил хакнат от група турски хакери, наричащи себе си NetDevilz. Повече за новината:

Two of the world's most important internet regulatory web sites – ICANN and IANA -- were hijacked and briefly redirected Friday to another site that screamed this message: "You think that you control the domains but you don't! Everybody knows wrong. We control the domains including ICANN! Don't you believe us?"

A group that monitors internet defacement credited the 20-minute hijacking to a Turkish group calling itself "NetDevilz," according to researchers at zone-h.

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority globally coordinates the DNS Root and IP addressing. The International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers supervises the distribution of the world's internet domain names and addresses.

The ICANN describes itself as "a not-for-profit partnership of people from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet’s unique identifiers."

The zone-h researchers said the redirected domains included icann.com, icann.net, iana.com and iana-servers.com. They were hijacked to atspace.com, according to zone-h.

"We reached the defacers by e-mail but they refused to tell us how they changed the DNS records, however a cross-site scripting or cross-site request forgery vulnerability might have been exploited," zone-h said.

Last week, the Turkish group briefly hijacked Photobucket, a popular photo sharing site.

On Friday, ICANN adopted rules allowing a flood of new domain names.
