Maldives Department of Meteorology website hacked!

A Turkish hacker group who call themselves ZeHiRLiYiLaN[GöLGe] hacked Maldives department of Meteorology website http://www.meteorology.gov.mv/. They replaced http://www.meteorology.gov.mv/index.html and http://www.meteorology.gov.mv/index.htm files with their own. However everything seems fine when you browse to http://www.meteorology.gov.mv/. because they failed to delete http://www.meteorology.gov.mv/default.asp which is the default. What was the purpose behind the attack? Find it out here.


Update: The site is restored now :)

  4. Hi,

    Kindly change your whos.amung.us widget's ID. I've been using 'iloveyou' for few months and counting.

    To show prove, check the monthly/yearly graphs.

  8. yeah mrMalvian, It isn't restored properly, But at least at its root level the index.html and index.htm files are deleted. I am not sure whether the hackers did it or the tech guys at meteorology did it. Thanks for notifying. Cheers buddy!
