Report: Coca-Cola, ToysRUs, McDonald’s, and Fiverr Websites Taken Down by Anonymous Hacker Group
Report: Coca-Cola, ToysRUs, McDonald’s, and Fiverr Websites Taken Down by Anonymous Hacker Group
While you were taking it easy this weekend, over one million pages on hundreds of websites were taken over by hacker group Anonymous and made to display a contentious political message. Though the attack was quickly contained, many Israeli corporate websites, including those of Coca-Cola, Groupon, Toys R Us, McDonald’s, and Fiverr, were affected (to be precised, all websites were the local domains  of .co.il address, so mcdonalds.co.il, cocacola.co.il etc., but it also included international Fiverr.com with 40 MM monthly visitors). Had a few sharp security researchers not quickly detected the vulnerability and its embedded ransomware code, the economic damage could have cost millions, if not more.
