Mass Extinction Of Unviable Web Sites Looms
(6/1/2011) The recent hacks of the International Monetary Fund, Citicorp, Sony, Lockheed Martin, RSA Security, and the Canadian Government -- to name only a few of the known hacker attacks in the last five months -- are not just speed bumps on the gleaming highway to an ever bigger, better and faster Internet.
In fact, they are sounding the death knell of the Internet as we know it.
Here's the deal. Despite the recent arrest of three apparent leaders of the Spanish arm of Anonymous by the Spanish National Police, high level hackers now have stupendous tools, immense computing power and previously undreamed of layers of anonymity -- thanks to cloud computing operations like Amazon AWS, which mercifully is not going to survive either.
In addition, we have turned the Internet into something it was never, never, NEVER intended to be -- a highly centralized, highly complex tool of corporate domination. These two factors -- the exponential increase in hacker power, and the equally startling increase in complexity on the corporatized Net -- have fundamentally tipped the security scales.
Increasingly, the nervous "best practices" mantras of the security industry are just that, prayers. I have been in this business since 1995, and I have NEVER seen anything like the tidal wave of hacking attacks in the last year.
And if hackers can hack Sony, Citicorp, IMF or the French, Canadian or Indian governments, how hard do you think it is for them to hack into your little web site or blog? Not very, and therefore it's not very surprisingly that there are a huge number hacked small to medium sized Web sites out there right now like DanRoberts.com, to mention only that was recently profiled on ProbeOff.com...

Blogger asks the biawakganas.
tipspeperiksaan.com question...
Bloggy
A: Hey Bloggy. Quickly...
* Biawakganas.tipspeperiksaan.com is located in Sekudai, Malaysia
* It is one of 53 domains on the same server, meaning it is a virtual domain (smaller operation; good thing it's not the university, then you'd be in big trouble)
* It is not listed as an attacker in SANS, and it is clean in both ProjectHoneyPot.org and bizimbal.com databases. However, this IP is blacklisted on two lists.
* The McAfee Chart suggests there may possibly be a mailserver somewhere on the system.
* I don't see anything awful here, but without seeing the logs to know what biawakganas.tipspeperiksaan.com is actually doing on your site, it's hard to say.
But here's a guess. Do you have some nice graphics on your blog? Do you have a block against hot-linking to those graphics? If the answers are yes and no, then it could be there are one or more sites...
