Website of Kevin Mitnick got hacked

The most known hacker on the world was beaten in his own way - his website was hacked by pakistanian hackers. Four websites associated with Mitnick’s various ventures were sprayed with digital graffiti on Monday in an apparently personal attack. The sites defensivethinking.com, mitsec.com, kevinmitnick.com and mitnicksecurity.com (which all run on Linux, incidentally) were defaced with offensive messages that said “hacking was for homos”, among other things.

The techniques used in the attacks are unclear but are likely technical in nature. Mitnick spent five years incarcerated as punishment for attacks against Fujitsu, Motorola, Nokia, and Sun Microsystems, among others, prior to his release in January 2000. It’s not the first time when was Mitnick’s website hacked, but it’s the first time when it was hacked in this rude way, because the previous hacks were more pleasant, just to welcome Kevin released from the arrest…
