[TriLUG] Hackers turn on open source

[Sinner from the Prairy]

Hi there,

FYI, it looks like some folks are targeting Linux boxes around the world:

"Big increase in Linux box defacements"

"The hacker underground appears to be moving away from targeting Microsoft, as 
May turns out to be a hot month for attacks on open source security."

" (...) "

"The group has been responsible for around 64 per cent of .de defacements this 
year. But one of the more interesting aspects is that hax0rs lab seems to be 
almost exclusively targeting servers running on Linux, and hitting just a few 
Solaris and FreeBSD boxes along the way"

So, check your systems and update your apps!



Salut,
Sinner
