ICANN and IANA Hacked
by Frank Jovine on 06/27/2008 in Business, Internet
The official domains of ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, and IANA, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority were hijacked earlier today, by the NetDevilz Turkish hacking group which also hijacked Photobucket’s domain on the 18th of June.
This is pretty scary considering who and what these two companies do for business. This is evidence that no one is secured or safe 100% utilizing the internet. This can even happen to our government or other official organizations.
ICANN is responsible for the global coordination of the Internet’s system of unique identifiers. These include domain names, as well as the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is responsible for the global coordination of the DNS Root, IP addressing, and other Internet protocol resources.
NetDevilz left the following message on all of the domains:
“You think that you control the domains but you don’t! Everybody knows wrong. We control the domains including ICANN! Don’t you believe us? haha 
(Lovable Turkish hackers group)”
What’s next? Or who is next?
