Microsoft reported Wednesday that it has now logged more than 10,000 attacks. "At first, we only saw legitimate researchers testing innocuous proof-of-concepts.

According to a member of the German hacker community, who informed Gulf News but understandably does not want to have his name published, Aramco's "poorly secured" web server is "like an open book" for those who conduct a specially crafted search query to reach file directories. The web specialists were able to access and download confidential documents such as technical drawings, detailed information on oil rigs and even blueprints of the infrastructure, fire protection system and communication network of the world's largest oil field, Al Ghawar. Some of the downloaded documents can be viewed on the hackers' website. [...] |
