“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.
