The official website of LG Australia has been hacked and defaced by Intra Web Security Exploit Team.
Hacked Site:-
www.lge.com.au
Mirror Link:-
http://www.zone-h.org/mirror/id/15669350
The site gone off-line in the mid after noon (Sydney Time) late LG recovered it and now it has been redirecting to www.lg.com/au/
Ty Miller, CTO with security firm Pure Hacking, said the attacker had compromised the web server hosting LG's site. This is usually more serious than another common website defacement method called an SQL Injection, which allows websites to be defaced via exploiting a hole in a web application without the hackers accessing the web server itself. "It looks like the attacker has compromised the web server itself as the website home page has been replaced completely," said Miller.
"Usually if the web application itself was compromised via Stored Cross Site Scripting or SQL Injection then you would still see the original home page HTML code containing the malicious code."
LG said it was alerted to the hack on Friday morning and immediately suspended the site "until the incident is fully investigated". It said the attack only affected lge.com.au, not lg.com.au, which had replaced the former as the "local primary hosting solution" a number of years ago.
