On Thursday 8 Jan, Turkish cracker "Agd_Scorp" defaced the US Army website mdw.army.mil and NATO Parliament www.nato-pa.int, by putting messages in support of the Intifada and protesting against the recent Israeli attacks in Palestine that have resulted in the death of more than 800 of Palestinians so far.

Zone-h has screenshots taken after the defacements here and here.


From what we can read on zone-h.org, Windows 2003 was the Operating System of the server hosting the domains, while the attacker exploited some Sql Injection flaws (on the ASP application powering the websites) for the break-in.

Two days after the incident, mdw.army.mil seems inaccessible, as you can see on the screenshot. 

It is interesting what we read on securityfocus for the story. "Last week, several sources reported that thousands of Web sites may have been defaced by Palestinian sympathizers. Still, this is nothing on the scale of Georgia or even more recently with the (online) attacks on Kasparov"
