TCS WEBSITE HACKED AND DOMAIN NAME ON SALE
Monday, February 08, 2010
India's one of the best fine and largest software company TCS was under cyber attack.Hackers reportedly attacked the company's website, www.tcs.com and put its domain name on sale on Sunday, Feb 7. The company has, however, restored the website.
In the first ever hacking attack targeting an Indian IT company, the hackers who broke through the website put up an 'For Sale' notice in English and French.
Concept Behind this Hack:
The hackers changed the domain name to 205.178.152.154 from 216.15.200.140, re-pointing the name server (NS) records of the company’s website. The hacker had also put up a whos.among.us widget to display how many people were on the site at any given point. The hackers, according to a report, also provided an email id, abed_uk@hotmail.com.
The website was 'on sale' for over three hours before it was restored.
On initial investigation, it was found that the attack was launched through a DNS redirection at the domain name registrar’s end.
It may be noted that TCS provides IT services across industries and maintains sites for State governments such as aponline.gov.in.
However, TCS is not the only high-profile site to have been hacked in the recent past. Even Orkut's Brazil blog and Twitter were hacked in a similar manner.
