He contends that Pakistani webmasters are too lame with the security and these attempts should be translated as warnings to ultimately secure Pakistani cyber space. He urged Pakistani websites to be more securer.<br /> On other hands, the webmasters criticize hackers for penetrating into their websites without authorization and approval. They term it criminal activity.<br /> Hacker provided RexHacker with login information for one of Aaj TV’s recruitment portal (and of course the entire leaked data), a screen-shot of which is produced below:<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJvWsbkmxHUX75j89pPD2NHZYlhDIOLW_ZSNd6vv0OgR9ABpj06iW3ZfIwNYlFRjnKLtEN9YNUVfgat5oyZsm7zPgMuu_etDh_umAcmbfN3ZPDMg9aMb-QdPo8iOwLo6g_rQfbooEqUqw/s1600/ajj_tv.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Aaj TV Gets Hacked, Entire Website Data Leaked Online" border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJvWsbkmxHUX75j89pPD2NHZYlhDIOLW_ZSNd6vv0OgR9ABpj06iW3ZfIwNYlFRjnKLtEN9YNUVfgat5oyZsm7zPgMuu_etDh_umAcmbfN3ZPDMg9aMb-QdPo8iOwLo6g_rQfbooEqUqw/s1600/ajj_tv.jpg" title="" width="400" /></a></div> </div>

MCB Targeted by Hackers, Becomes Third Defaced Bank in One Week

This time it is Muslim Commercial Bank or MCB.<br /> With apparent slogan of defacing Banking websites, hackers claim to be with the aim of securing Pakistani cyber space. They maintain that banks were previously warned about all the security flaws but since banks’ staff don’t seem to be serious with the warnings and hence hackers have no point but to deface their websites.<br /> Tonight, an inner page of Muslim Commercial Bank was defaced by two hackers who want to be called as Dr.Freak and Xploiter. We suspect – due to the names used – that this is the same group who had recently carried out defacements of HBL and ABL.<br /> However, the tone and feel of the message left on MCB’s defaced page doesn’t resemble with previous messages.<br /> It maybe recalled that earlier this week, official websites of Habib Bank and Allied Bank were hacked and defaced. Earlier on, Soneri Bank and Burj Bank were also attacked and defaced by hackers.<br /> Hacker left following message on MCB’s website:<br /> <blockquote> Did not u GOt the lesson after Pknic soneri bank hbl and allied bank. huh secure your sh*ts Secure Pakistan cyber space zindabad xploiter and Dr.Freak.</blockquote> Here is the link of defaced page: http://mcb.com.pk/psc/cards/iparty/detail.asp?mid=16&type=1&cid=1<br /> Webpage is still defaced, till we last checked before publishing this story.

And the message has been quite clear: Secure the websites and infrastructure.<br /> It merits mentioning here that EasyPaisa, one of the largest branch-less banking solution in the world, is jointly operated by Telenor Pakistan and Tameer Bank.<br /> Exploiter once again emphasized the lack of security that resulted into all these hacks. While defacing the homepage of Tameer bank, hacker left following message:<br /> <blockquote> You Didn’t Got Lesson after PKNIC , Soneri Bank and Habib Bank , Allied bank , MCB ‘s infrastructure was Hacked ?<br /> Yesterday i got a News Cyber Act gonna be pass in National Assembly But There Must be a Law for Website developement Cyber Act Going to be Passed Next Month!

Additionally, there are private firms which sell them such tools to spy the users. Without a doubt – as unveiled earlier – FBI has support from technology companies, such as Google, Microsoft, Apple and others.<br /> <br /> Moreover, FBI uses spyware tools to record keystrokes or almost any activity on a computer or smartphone.<br /> <br /> Report says that there are usually warrants required to undergo such surveillance on suspects, however, it argues that there were instances when FBI had recorded users’ data without any legal authorization.<br /> <br /> With plenty of criticism about NSA’s PRISM program, this new hacking and spying practices from US law enforcement agencies are going to further hike the distrust level of technology users.<br /> <br /> It merits mentioning here that there are over 900 million users with Android devices.<br /> <br /> These revelations also raise serious questions about the privacy of individuals, which is seemingly brutally murdered by American government and agencies and buried hundreds of miles down under the turf.<br /> <br /> Third world citizens are in desperate position, who had embraced these emerging technology gadgets and software for simplifying their lives, but ended up only to be watched by the American government.<br /> <br /> Our own government, which can question American government about such shameless practices, is busy doing so many other use-less things.</div>
