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 Peru
Reported: 30 August 2007Occurred: 24 July 2007
Classifications:
- Attack Method: Unknown
- Country: Peru
- Outcome: Defacement
- Vertical: Politics
Defacements seem to start dominating this list. Alas, they are the most obvious web site hacks out there. While not every defacement is reported in the Web Hacking Incidents Database, key ones are. I included this one since the attacked web site is significant, and since it emphasizes what is becoming a major goal of attacking: politics and international affairs.
As a side note, this incident is also interesting because it was repeated after discovered and presumably fixed, which goes a long way to show how much effort there is in protecting web sites and how difficult it cab be.
