List of Incidents for a Classification

Please note that classifications are a new feature and not all entries in WHID are already classified, so when you get a certain number of entries for a classification, WHID might have more records matching that classification that we did not classify yet. We hope to complete the classification process soon.

Select classification:
Attack Method, Country, Location, Origin, Outcome, Software, Vertical

Select criteria for classification "Country":
?, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Ecuador, France, Germany, Global, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Korea, Libya, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, UK, United Nations, USA


List of incidents for which Country is China
WHID 2007-55: Malicious Code Infects Chinese Security Site
Reported: 07 November 2007
Occurred: 03 October 2007

Classifications:

  • Attack Method: unknown
  • Country: China
  • Outcome: Planting Of Malware
  • Vertical: Media

Defacement are a dime a dozen this days, and are not normally reported by WHID. Even invisible defacements in which sites are changed in order to infect their clients with malicious code are becoming too common. But this time it is the site of a security organization, and not just any one, but China's internet security organization. So in the light of the hot debate about china as the source of all hacking, we think that this story has a value.
