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 Greece
WHID 2008-12: Greek ministry websites hit by hacker intrusion
Reported: 17 February 2008
Occurred: 31 January 2008

Classifications:

  • Attack Method: Unknown
  • Country: Greece
  • Outcome: Defacement
  • Vertical: Government

This is yet another case of defacement of a governmental web site. It is amazing to note it is nearly never the large commercial and financial web sites that are defaced. It is either small mom and dad shops or government and political web sites. Don't you get the feeling the government IT is run like a mom and dad shop? Do you wonder if it is only the IT part that is run that way?
