Korean Apple online store defaced

Last Thursday Silicon.com found out that Apple's Korean online store was hacked. The hacking was done by a dude going by the name 'Dinam.' He claims to be Turkish, but there is no way to confirm that. It seems he gained administrative control over the webserver (which was running Apache) that serves up the Apple store (in Korea) and he went ahead and defaced the website.

carl,
I have gone though that so called "visa compliance" testing for a large retail frim; it's a freaking joke that amounts to not much more than a portscan on the ip address that there site detects you comming from, which is usualy just your corprate firewall, no ports open there, duh. And a 20ish page questionier asking quetions like "do you leave your admin password written down un securely, yes or no".

Don't take faith in these 'tests', a real security audit is nothing like this and costs -tons- of $$ that most companies will not pay for.

It was only Apple's Korean Mail subdomain that was defaced. Screenshot of it can be seen here....

This is not a "hack". It's a break-in by a vandal.

Carl:
Visa probably only cares about the purchasing stuff on a secure server.

Maybe he just wanted to make a name for himself. Apparently he succeeded thanks to sites such as this one.
