PORTUGUESE SPEAKING hackers dubbed the "Outlaw group" have defaced the ultra-secure Microsoft.com's uk press page using a well-known hole that should have been patched months ago.
Red-faced spinsters pulled the hacked page (
www.microsoft.com/mspress/uk/) yesterday after the defacers modified the title and introduction of the Microsoft Press section to write "Owned OutLaw Group by Pharoeste e Wolfblack".
Despite the fact that the HQ site is touted as one of the industry's most secure, and it contained press releases extolling the virtues of security patches the INQ understands that the defacement was no great hacking feat. The site easily fell over to an attack tuned onto a well known hole in Microsoft's patchwork quilt.
Basically, the attack involved finding the administration page and performing an SQL injection attack to gain control of the content.
It seems that someone had not visited the Microsoft web-page and upgraded their patches.
