Bangladesh Cyber Army known for their cyber resistance have successfully hacked and defaced a Pakistani government owned website. It is believed that this attack was in retaliation to a Pakistani hacker hacking and defacing a Bangladeshi website. Hacked website belongs to the Finance Department Batagram, which is under the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa deals with the subjects pertaining to finance of the District Government and financial matters affecting the District as a whole, preparation of annual budget statements and supplementary/excess budget statements for the consideration of the district accounts and audits of the District Government Organization.

This cyber-attack on Pakistani government website by the Bangladesh Cyber Army has raised many questions, such as if this is a start of a first ever cyber warfare between the hackers of two countries? Why the website was attacked by Bangladeshi hackers? Was this attack provocative? Or it was just an act to calm things down by sending a message to Pakistani hackers? According to the deface message on the hacked website, it seems that this attack was a warning for Pakistani hackers to ensure no further attack on Bangladeshi websites. The deface message said that:

WE don't WANT War

STAY AWAY from OUR CYBER SPACE If you CONTINUE attack then wait for PAYBACK We want peace War isn't a solution B A N G L A D E S H C Y B E R A R M Y Hacked website: http://financebatagram.gov.pk/

The Chinese government for the first time admitted that it has highly skilled group of hackers in its army; supported, equipped and trained by the government officials.  Channel4 reports that an intelligence source inside the army shared the secret information which confirms the presence of hackers in Chinese army that are will be used at the time of cyber warfare.  The group of elite hackers in the China's People's Liberation Army is known as  "cyber blue team" that will be working as a defensive wall against any kind of cyber attack against the country.  This is the first time when a responsible source has accepted the presence of hackers in China's Liberation Army, which according to some is a threat to cyber space of other countries specially USA, UK, India, Japan and anyone who is against China.  In February, Chinese hackers targeted multinational energy firms to steal information, in an attack called "Night Dragon", and last year the Government said cyber attacks were one of the biggest security threats faced by the UK, as reported by Channel4.  The presence of Elite hackers in the Chinese army was also confirmed by Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman, Geng Yansheng, in a briefing in Xinhua as he said that:

The team was set up to "better safeguard the internet security of the armed forces.  Internet security was an international problem, affecting civil and military areas. China is still "relatively weak" in internet security protection, and vulnerable to cyber-terrorism.

A British intelligence analyst Glenmore Trenear-Harvey added his views on the issue by saying that: 

The intelligence agencies of many countries believe that China has elite hacking team within the army for over 5 years. There can be  "literally thousands" of hackers within China had been recruited to form a "botnet army", attacking from unsuspecting computers. They can then use this capability either to conduct a denial of service, taking down sites, or acting as a Trojan horse to get within computers and steal information. "As an offensive tool that is very much something the People's Liberation Army would do," he added. "This is not just conventional military powers. Put bluntly, everyone's at it. It is a game anyone can play. For example Japan has a formidable capacity and we have no idea what it is doing with it - and Singapore, Switzerland, Israel," Mr Inkster, who used to work in the British Secret Intelligence Service, warned.

Mr Trenear-Harvey added:

It is one of the greatest threats we have, and we have the Communications Electronic Security Group (CESG) advising all Government departments on how to protect themselves. "But do remember that we - the US and UK - are doing this in reverse and we are very successful. It's an incredibly potent weapon which will certainly be utilized."

In a report published by The Washington Free Beacon reports, the The Energy Department has been under massive cyber-attacks, as a result information of its hundreds of employees has been stolen, the officials are not positive over theft of secret information.

The FBI is now investigating the attack in which hackers penetrated into 20 workstations and about 14 computer servers in the Washington based headquarters two weeks ago. The Energy Department is now in contact with its employees who were hacked as a result of the cyber-attack and the account information has has been reset. The Department also said that this attack could be conducted from the Chinese capital of Beijing as the accuracy of attacks indicates the involvement of foreign government. The department includes the National Nuclear Security Administration, which maintains nuclear weapons.

"It's a continuing story of negligence," former Energy Department security official Ed McCallum told the Free Beacon, explaining that the department continues to have security problems despite controlling some of the most "sophisticated military and intelligence technology the country owns."

The department also put Iran in the line by saying that Iran and China both are after our secrets.

"China continues to develop its capabilities in the cyber arena," the U.S. China Economic and Security Review Commission said in a November 2012 report to Congress. "U.S. industry and a range of government and military targets face repeated exploitation attempts by Chinese hackers as do international organizations and nongovernmental groups including Chinese dissident groups, activists, religious organizations, rights groups, and media institutions."

The people's republic of China is under a lot of pressure these days, as the WSJ and NYT has also accused the country for hacking its computers. You can read FreeBeacon's report on U.S. Energy Department Under Cyber-attackshere. Follow @HackRead

We have heard about hacking into each other's cyber territories but editing Wikipedia pages to send you message to the world was never a part of cyber war. 

In a recent attack by hackers from Phillipines, the details  about “Sabah” were edited and the state was described as being “part of the Sultanate of Sulu”. Sabah is one of the 13 member states of Malaysia while Sulu is an autonomous island province of the Philippines located in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). Malaysian website The Star reports that results from a Google search on the word “Sabah” at press time yesterday revealed a preview to the Wikipedia page which states: “Sabah is illegitimately considered one of the 13 member states of Malaysia, and is said to be its easternmost state but in fact, it is part of the Sultanate of Sulu. It is located on the northern portion of the island of Borneo.” When contacted the Google, the spokesman said that results, came from its Knowledge Graph, which is an index of hundreds of millions of real-world entities including open sources like Wikipedia. “When a user searches for a query, our algorithm takes information from the Knowledge Graph and presents it in the panel. “We want to make sure the information we provide is as accurate as possible, so we’ve included a link so you can tell us when we may have an inaccuracy in our information,” The Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department of the country is now investigating the incident.  The two countries are currently at war over territory dispute.

The official website and server at Election Commission of Pakistan has been shutdown deliberately after a massive cyber attack from Russian and hackers from some Asian countries. The reason remains unknown, however Khizar Aziz, Director General IT, at the ECP told media that some unknown Asian and Russian hackers had launched a strong cyber attacks on the website but these attacks were foiled, adding all the data of the Election Commission, posted on the website, is saved. “Had our host server was based in Pakistan, then there could have been immense loss,” he said, adding ECP host server is based in Canada, which now being transferred to more secure server. Mr. Aziz cleared that website has been shutdown deliberately as a tactic to avoid any further attack or damage. Election Commission of Pakistan has ordered its IT department to shift their servers from existing one to a stronger one so that site can be available for public as the elections are to held in May 2013. Despite the ECP's claim, it is not certain if hackers got access of the crucial data on all the political parties of the country. Follow @HackRead

CBS News has revealed that one of their investigative reporter had her computer hacked and remotely accessed by an unknown hackers late last year. The reporter has been identified as Sharyl Attkisson had her computer remotely accessed from three different location by unknown party, citing an analysis by an outside cyber security firm. CBS News spokeswoman Sonya McNair confirmed the hack in these words:

The forensic analysis showed the hacker appeared to have searched and extracted data, and then "used sophisticated methods" to cover up the unauthorized activity, CBS News is "taking steps to identify the responsible party and their method of access.

Sharyl Attkisson made name for her reporting on several high profile issues such as Benghazi, Libya, in which the U.S. ambassador to Libya was killed and ongoing anti-gun-trafficking program Operation Fast and Furious. At the moment it is unclear who the culprit were, what were their motives and what kind of sensitive data did the extracted from the hacked computer. This is not the first time when CBS was attacked by hackers, last year the online hackavists Anonymous had hacked the official website of CBS for #OpMegaUpload, against shutting down of online file sharing website and who can forget that million dollar Tweet of Obama's involvement in Boston bombings made by Syrian Electronic Army after hacking the official Twitter account of CBS News in  April 2013.  In past China has been blamed for hacking several US based defence organisations, media outlets and tech giants, however it will be too early to go into a blame game.

South Korea will develop Stuxnet-like cyberweapons to destroy North Korean nuclear facilities

In order to demolish North Korean nuclear facilities, South Korea has decided to develop its own cyber attack tools. 

Stuxnet kind of weapons have been proposed by the country’s defence ministry, the same Stuxnet software which was designed to target and destroy Iranian nuclear plants. 

Yonhap news agency reported that:

• The South Korean military will carry out missions using the software. The defence ministry prsented its plan to the government on 19th February.”

In 2006, North Korea said it had successfully tested a nuclear weapon, spreading alarm through the region. Intensive diplomatic efforts to try to rein in North Korea’s nuclear ambitions continue.

The development of weapons capable of physically damaging North Korean nuclear plants and missile facilities is the second phase of a strategy that began in 2010, Yonhap said.

The first part of South Korea’s plan, which is continuing, is to conduct online propaganda operations by posting to North Korean social networking and social media services.

• Once the second phase plan is established, the cybercommand will carry out comprehensive cyberwarfare missions,” a senior ministry official said.

The South Korean cyberwarfare command, which will use the weapons, has been dogged by accusations of using its psychological warfare capabilities on its own population to try to influence voters in the run-up to the 2012 presidential elections.

Attempting to use cyberweapons to physically damage critical infrastructure could drastically backfire, Prof Alan Woodward, a computer security expert at the University of Surrey, told the BBC.

• I think it’s very dangerous,” he said. “[The weapon] could end up damaging all sorts of things you never intended it to.”

Once Stuxnet was released, its spread was impossible to predict or control, Prof Woodward said.

The code was designed to target Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities and disrupt a suspected nuclear weapons development programme.

However, the code attacked Siemens control systems used not only in the facilities but also in electrical generation plants, factories and water treatment works.

• You might be targeting one thing, but it could spread,” Prof Woodward said. “All those other forms of infrastructure become vulnerable.”

Malicious code such as Stuxnet does not respect national boundaries. Cyber-attack code developed by South Korea could rebound and end up damaging South Korean infrastructure that uses the same technologies, he said. The code could spread internationally.

In addition, once the attack code is released, malicious hackers or military personnel anywhere in the world would be able to study a sample and use the weapons against another target, Prof Woodward added.

Writing a news about cyber attack is incomplete without mentioning India and Pakistan, where both countries are known for their skillful hackers and defacers.

Keeping up with their cyber war, a Pakistani based hacker going with the handle of rOOX from Team MadLeets has hacked and defaced the server of Indian Ministry of Railway, which includes around 47 domains.

The hacker left a deface page along with a message on all hacked websites which was expressed in following words:

Hacked By r00x you GoT 0wn3d By rOOX . Just a Security reminder :)  Contact: r00x@ymail.com We are TeaM MADLEETS.

It seems as if hacker found some kind of security flaw allowing him to takeover the server and deface it with his page.

Links of targeted websites along with their mirrors are available here.

If you are following TeaM MADLEETS, you may know that this is not the first time when they have successfully defaced high profile government domains. Read the complete list of their hacks by clicking here.

At the same time, this is not the first time when Indian ministry of railway has been hacked. In past, a Pakistani hackers from ‘Ainab‘ and The Hackers Army had also defaced the same server.

At the time of publishing this article, all defaced domains were restored and working online.

For years, American aerospace industry has allegedly been infiltrated by a shadowy group of hackers believed to be affiliated with Chinese military. US space industry’s trading partners have also not been spared by this group, revealed a US-based cyber security company CrowdStrike.

CrowdStrike officials have declared People’s Liberation Army 12 bureau’s unit 61486 based in Shanghai responsible for attacking American and numerous other western networks. These cyber-assaults date back to as far as 2007. CrowdStrike states that this group has managed to target communication, space, and aerospace sectors through “popular productivity applications such as Adobe Reader and Microsoft Office to deploy custom malware through targeted email attacks,” reported Reuters.

The list of accusations has been outlined in a 62 page report published by CrowdStrike on Monday which involves blames like phishing emails and using Trojan horse document. This group, informally known as Putter Panda, conducts forensic investigations for clients enduring offensive security violations. For instance, whenever a target clicks on a specific document or downloads it, they can easily take over their entire computer. This power is then used by the hackers for stealing housing blueprints, serves, list of clients and other highly sensitive data, reported Ars Technica.

Researchers have acknowledged that “Putter Panda is a determined adversary group, conducting intelligence-gathering operations targeting the Government, Defense, Research, and Technology sectors in the United States, with specific targeting of the US Defense and European satellite and aerospace industries. The PLA’s GSD Third Department is generally acknowledged to be China’s premier Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) collection and analysis agency, and the 12th Bureau Unit 61486, headquartered in Shanghai, supports China’s space surveillance network.”

CrowdStrike published this report to show how deep-rooted this problem is. The report arrived just three weeks after the surprise move from US Justice Department of impeaching People’s Liberation Army hacker unit’s five members. They were accused of stealing US trade secrets.

Chinese spokespersons denied the legitimacy of the Department’s assertions on the basis that the US National Security agency has already launched such attacks.

Jiang Jun, an official representative for the state Internet Information Office informed pro-government Xinhua News Agency: “For a long time, governments and enterprises of a few countries have gathered sensitive information on a large scale, taking advantage of their monopoly in the market and technological edge. They not only seriously undermine the interests of their clients but also threaten cyber security of other countries.”

Jun’s response provoked Dmitri Alperovitch, co-founder CrowdStrike who also authorized disclosure of this report on Monday, to access US intelligence and Justice Department officials for consultation.

“After the Chinese response, where they basically said this is all fabricated, we said why don’t we unleash something that’s undeniable,” Alperovitch informed Reuters.

A group of Armenian hackers going with the handle of Monte Melkonian Cyber Army (MMCA) have claimed to conduct cyber attack on Azerbaijani cyber space that includes defacement of several websites and a DDoS attack up to 300GB.

In an exclusive conversation with one of the representative of MMCA, we were told that the reason behind this attack is ongoing border clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Hackers left a deface page along with a warning message to Azerbaijan over ongoing conflict. The deface page also includes pictures of Armenian soldiers died during the conflict.
