*Carders.cc*, a German security forum that specializes in trading stolen
credit cards and other purloined data, has been hacked by security
vigilantes for the second time this year. Also waking up to “you’ve been
owned” calling cards this Christmas are exploit database *exploit-db.org*and
*backtrack-linux.org*, the home of *Backtrack*, an open source “live CD”
distribution of Linux.

excerpt:

*Mati Aharoni*, the main administrator for both exploit-db.org and
backtrack-linux.org, confirmed that the hacks against his sites were
legitimate. Shortly after my e-mail, Aharoni replied with a link to a short
statement, noting that a hacking team called *inj3ct0r* initially took
credit for the attack, only to find itself also targeted and shamed in this
edition of Owned and Exposed.

“There’s nothing like having your butt kicked Christmas morning, which is
exactly what happened to us today. We were owned and exposed, in true
fashion,” Aharoni wrote. “Initially, the inj3ct0r team took ‘creds’ for the
hack, which quickly proved false as the original ezine showed up – and now
inj3ct0r (their new site) is no longer online. As a wise Chinese man once
said: ‘do not anger one who has shell on your server’. The zine also
mentioned other sites, as well as the ettercap project being backdoored.”

To his credit, Aharoni posted a link to the 2nd edition of Owned and
Exposed.
