Iranian Cyber Army, the most popular hackers these days who had managed to hack into Twitter and change the homepage to something what people did not want.
Something similar did happen to China’s biggest search Engine, Baidu. Recently, the search engine’s homepage had that nasty picture, somewhat which was on Twitter too saying that the website was hacked because of Iranian Cyber Army.
The reason for Twitter being hacked was because of the Iran Politics buzz on twitter. Why was baidu hacked? No idea say chinese security experts.
The DNS records had been played with. At first they had been changed to Yahoo, then to some other nameservers, and this battle went on for 3 hours till the Baidu engineers finally managed to get complete control.
The worst outcome of this whole hacking event was that Google China’s traffic had increased by nearly 31% because of millions of users dropping baidu for the time being and using Google china! What next could be hacked? Possibly facebook?
