One of the most popular hacking group "The Unknowns" have hit back the cyber space once again. Hacktivist group "The Unknowns" claims to hijack Gabon's TLD and this time they targeted Panda Security and it's sub-domains. The attackers breached the systems of the Gabon Network Information Centre (NIC) and modified DNS entries so that the visitors of these domains would be redirected to their defacement page. At the time of writing, the DNS records appear to have been restored. However, the hackers have made available defacement mirrors to prove the attack.
Why they targeted "Panda Security"?
According to the hacktivist group they said Panda Security was working with the Law Enforcement to snitch Anonymous Hacktivists. They also said Panda Security helped to jail more than 25 Anonymous Hacktivists and it looks like their former member "Zyklon B" was working for the FBI as they mentioned in the deface page. While "The Unknowns" is often involved in hacktivist operations, they often target organizations just to demonstrate that their systems are not secured enough.
