Hacker Defaces Thousands Of Sites In WTC Protest
http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/170106.html

In an apparent response to terrorist attacks on America, a notorious hacker 
known as "Fluffi Bunni" defaced potentially tens of thousands of 
high-profile Web sites today, replacing their home pages with a rant about 
religion, capitalism, and violence.

Officials at NetBenefit, a London-based Internet services provider, 
confirmed that the attacker infiltrated the company's domain name servers 
(DNS) this morning and re-directed thousands of customer sites to a page 
created by the attacker.

The page, which displayed Fluffi Bunni's trademark photo of a pink toy 
rabbit at a computer keyboard, featured a title tag that read "We're Coming 
for you Oslahmamama" and text saying "Fluffi Bunni Goes Jihad," according 
to Security.nl, a Dutch security information site that captured a mirror of 
two of the defaced sites.

NetBenefit chief executive Jonathan Robinson told Newsbytes that the firm's 
NetNames unit provides domain name services to approximately 100,000 
customers, including Gillette, Barclaycard, The Guardian, News 
International, Guardian Direct, Bank of Scotland and members of the Virgin 
Group.

Robinson said "the majority" of those sites were re-directed to the 
attacker's page for at least one hour this morning, before the breach was 
detected and NetNames administrators took the DNS servers offline briefly 
prior to restoring normal service.
