Servers, Organisations and Companies targeted in a Global Hacking War.

Hackers have attacked and disrupted the websites of major international companies such as Sony and organisations as mighty as the US Senate and national police forces. Every one of our servers has been constantly hacked by people with nothing better to do than disrupt honest working people's lives, it has cost me thousands of Euro personally to continue to monitor and clean the code infections these 'cyber criminals' insert into our websites to redirect search engine searches or 'take down' live websites.

Hackers generally access a server and add code to the website files which has various effects including redirecting visitors from search engine results and effectively disabling the functionality completely. Once they have been into the website they generally leave open a 'Back Door' so that when we fix the problem they can re-enter at will. Finding the point of access has been one of the hardest jobs, the process of scanning, cleaning and republishing the websites has been a constant and expensive battle this year. Due to the increased demand you can now scan your website for free and get an automated online tool to clean any infections.

This is happening on an 'industrial scale' worldwide, the majority originating from China and the Middle East - every hosting company has been effected and all of the biggest and most secure companies and organisations have been comprimised. You will see below that in the UK the authorities take this very seriously and the news shows what is being done to counteract the threat, although it will not go away anytime soon...., To help us in this battle we have to engage new tools to automatically monitor and clean our websites......., Scan your website free now!

UK Police Action

British police recently charged a teenager suspected of involvement in cyber attacks on the CIA website, Ryan Cleary, 19, has been charged with five offences under the Computer Misuse Act, he is suspected of launching cyber attacks from the Essex bungalow where he lives with his parents.

One of the charges relates to bringing down the website of Britain's Serious Organized Crime Agency - the U.K.'s FBI equivalent - using a flood of traffic, in what is known as a 'distributed denial of service' attack. Ryan Cleary is suspected of having ties to the Lulz Security hacking collective, which has recently targeted Sony, the CIA website and the U.S. Senate computer system.

Also another teenager was arrested on Shetland suspected of being behind a worldwide computer hacking conspiracy.T he 18-year-old is thought to be a "hacktivist" who targeted the CIA, the US Senate, UK police and major corporations under the nickname "Topiary". He was seized by the police Central e-Crime Unit and taken to London for questioning while his island home was searched.

The operation, involving the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency, was part of a major police investigation into hacking groups known as Anonymous and LulzSec, the arrest has made headlines around the world. This is a cyber war being waged 24 hours a day, Police described the raid as a "pre-planned intelligence-led operation". The Metropolitan Police said they believed the teenager was linked to an ongoing international investigation into a number of cyber-attacks on international businesses and intelligence agencies.

The infamous hacker known as Topiary - or sometimes Gardenslayer - was a spokesman for Anonymous and LulzSec. LulzSec pulled off a spectacular breach at Sony Pictures, posting the usernames, passwords, email addresses and phone numbers of tens of thousands of people, many of whom had given the company their information for sweepstakes draws. The group then went on a rampage, hacking into porn sites and gaming companies, they even leaked documents, emails, usernames, passwords and telephone numbers of Arizona's police force. The Shetland teenager is the third person to be arrested in the UK in connection with attacks on the electronics giant Sony, as well as assaults on US government agencies.

A 16-year-old from south London was arrested and released on bail last week and a 17-year-old male is being interviewed under caution. McKinnon 'hacker' held.
