“Apple Computer’s Korean online store has been defaced by an intruder. The attack, apparently carried out by someone working under the name ‘Dinam,’ who claimed in his online posting to be Turkish, was brought to the attention of Silicon.com last Thursday,” Dan Ilett reports for CNET News. “The defacement was removed from Apple’s Web site shortly after Silicon.com alerted the company, which has subsequently declined to comment on the matter. Jason Hart, CEO of security company Whitehat UK, told Silicon.com: ‘The defacer has managed to get administrator access to the Web server.'”
“The defacement–which took the form of a dozen lines of code posted to the Apple.co.kr home page–was documented on Zone-h.org. The hacker forum said Dinam had attacked a Mac OS X server running Apache,” Ilett reports.

MacDailyNews Note: Today, another attacker documented by Zone-H, “D.O.M.,” put up the old 6-color Apple logo and the slogan “Think Different” at the domain http://mail.apple.co.kr. See the defacement here.

HA HA HA HA HA HA. ROTFLMAO
“OSX has better security” my ass.
HA HA HA HA HA HA. ROTFLMAO
Things are heating up. I like it!
MUCH of ‘hacking’ is knowing some non-technical things about the system. The hacker could have slept with a sys-admin last night and poked around their home computer while they were in the shower.
Apple isn’t doing anything new by using Apache as a web server. Would not Apache vulnerabilities exist cross platform (Linux adn Windws)?
for any OS.
And even IF it’s not that–if it’s an actual flaw in Apache–that won’t help your Mac get compromised: Apache isn’t even turned on by default.

Apache.
Ron’s intellect is dizzying, He seems to forget those 117,000 Windows viruses and 0 for Mac OS X.

Moron Ron, the security fault lies in Apache, not OS X. Now go get your f*cking shinebox…
Hi kids! I’m a douchebag.
Can you say ‘douchebag’?
Yaah, I knew you could.
Bite me, Ron!
My 17″ iMac has been running without fail for nearly 4 years straight. No virii, no malware, NO NOTHING JACKHOLE!
I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!! I LIVE WITH DOZE DAILY!! I KNOW MORE ABOUT IT THAT I EVER WANTED TO!! TEN FREAKIN’ YEARS WITH THAT STEAMING PILE OF SHITE!!!
RON, AND ALL THE OTHERS LIKE HIM, HAVE CLEARLY NEVER LIVED WITH OS X.
SO STFU ALREADY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!
Or maybe I will. OS X on top of Vista?!?!
@($*&^)($&^()#@&$^@&
Apache is part of Mac OS X.
It comes installed on every Mac, is updated via Software Update, is included in retail copies of both the Client & Server versions of the OS. No, Apple does not author it, but it is part of the OS.
Get over it.
Serious now. Can’t you guys just follow suite to 90% of the market and dump your open source linux or Apple OSX server?

It’s Part of OS X
Click on the link and get yourself educated. From Apple’s own website.

Ron,
Uh, nope. Guess not. Why do you need us too so badly?
If we ALL jump off the cliff and end up dead at the bottom, will you be somehow LESS DEAD with our fresh bodies on top?
Seek professional help. Please.
Apache is open source, it isn’t Apple software moron.
As for this hack, let’s see them hack Apple.com itself, then I’ll be impressed…
This is funny… There is a image of an Apple iBook corner in the previous microsoft link

For those of you that mistakenly think Apache is Apple software, here you go…

How would using a microsoft server put you in line with 90% of the server market? If you are going to claim such things you really should do your research before you come across as a total fool. As of April 2006, Apache has around 63%of the server market while Microsoft has a tiny 25%. So, please enlighten us where this mystical 90% came from? Perhaps it’s one of those made up numbers that people like to use when they have no real facts to backup their claims. Try using this site, http://news.netcraft.com/archives/web_server_survey.html, as a reference before you walk around with egg all over your face next time. We have no problem entering into a debate with you but we are big fans of facts on the mac side of things. Just so you know, we aren’t the ones that look foolish here.
Jaakko’s right. That’s awesome!
Most Microsoft Certifiable Techs know nothing but Windoze and think that because everybody like them use it, everybody does. The world runs on UNIX & LINUX, especially mission critical systems.
If you go to:
http://news.netcraft.com/
and do a webserver search on microsoft.com
look at what these guys trust for their server needs.
I like the comments of “me” who stated hacking is often a less than technical proceedure.
Probably a Koren temp. who looked on the web workers open KeyChain, or as most people often do (for shame) looked in the paper-clip drawer where web guys sticky notes of passwords was.
With that “hacking ability” I could do this too, which isn’t saying much.
I doubt this will happen again any time soon. If it does, it could imply someone is a great Apache hacker, but more than likely it will completely stop, as the passwords have all been changed, and thus this person’s access is no longer valid.
war says:” We have no problem entering into a debate with you but we are big fans of facts on the mac side of things”.
Fact: Apple Korea web site got defaced by hacker.
Fact: Apple is running Apache software.
Fact: Apple is only sitting at 2% market share.
fact: MS is sitting at 90% market share.
fact: Apple is only used in publishing and marketing, hence the pic of an iBook on MS web site.
Fact: you are all a bunch of pansies to believe that Apple is the best product, while Vista has not even out yet.
Fact: once Vista is out, Apple will be relegated to the brink of bankcruptcy again as noted by Michael Dell in 1996.

Just because web site is compromized does not mean apache was at fault. OSX, ftp, php or administrator (as suggested by others) may be at fault. I hope we find out how the web site was compromised. One thing I like to know is, was the firewall on the web server setup to block all ports except http? If not, why not?

Yeah, that’s a good idea Ron. ‘Cause Microsoft products NEVER get hacked, right?
