Nepal Supreme Court Website Compromised And Became Porn Video Hoster
Another government site recently became a victim of an attack, this time the website of the Supreme Court of Nepal. The site was compromised due to SQL injection or XSS flaw, most likely enabled by the site’s use of an older Web server application version.
After being hacked, this website was turned into a host for pornographic video, in particular a site named “porno tv”. Before being cleaned up, this site also included about 157 other adult links. Other than links, the hacked site also displayed a login page that can be used to gather email addresses for possible spam distribution.
The injected folder with adult HTML files contained the porn files, but surprisingly did not contain any malware as when TrendLabs discovered it.
TrendLabs have informed the owners of the said site of their findings and according to TrendLabs, the site is already clean.
