Antivirus firm ESET and BitDefender website Hijacked by Pro-Palestinian Hackers

A pro-Palestinian hacktivist group 'KDMS Team', who recently managed to briefly hijack the Metasploit website of security firm Rapid7 and become popular after Hacking World's largest Web Hosting Network Leaseweb website and antivirus vendors AVG, Avira as well as mobile messaging service WhatsApp's websites.


Now even I have to say that - Security is just an Illusion, because just now the group aligned with Anonymous has successfully hijacked another two Antivirus firm website - ESET and Bitdefender.

The KDMS Team successfully changed the DNS records of both sites to redirect people to a website playing the Palestinian national anthem and displaying a political message under the title "You Got Pwned".

Message posted on Bitdefender and Eset website says:

Hello bitdefender

Touched By KDMS team

We was thinking about quitting hacking and disappear again ..!

But we said : there is some sites must be hacked

You are one of our targets Therefore we are here ..

And there is another thing .. do you know Palestine ?

There is a land called Palestine on the earth This land has been stolen by Zionist Do you know it ?

Both affected domains are registered from REGISTER.COM, INC. by companies, which is also domain registrar for Metasploit website -- was hijacked yesterday via a spoofed change request faxed to Register.com.

Defacement of Security companies is really embarrassing and hacker's tactics allowed them to get their political message to millions of users.

Sites are accessible from many regions around the world now, but you can see Defacement page mirror on Zone-H - Eset and BitDefender.
