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

Classifications:
- Attack Method: Unknown

Was it defaced or not? In this extraordinary incident, a hacker broke to the web site of the Ecuadorian president and said nice things about him. So nice in fact that the presidential office had to apologize in front of the opposition leader. Was it a hack or an over enthusiastic marketing person?
