Title: The website of Kaspersky was hacked
Post by: ashiqbest012 on October 22, 2010, 11:20:40 AM: !!!!হ্যাকারদের কবলে কাসপারস্কি এন্টিভাইরাস ওয়েবসাইট !!!!

অ্যান্টিভাইরাস নির্মাতা প্রতিষ্ঠান কাসপারেস্কির ওয়েবসাইটে আক্রমণ চালিয়েছে হ্যাকাররা। সাড়ে তিন ঘণ্টার জন্য এ ওয়েবসাইট হ্যাকারদের নিয়ন্ত্রণে চলে যায় বলে স্বীকার করেছে প্রতিষ্ঠানটি। হ্যাক করার পর হ্যাকাররা এ সাইট ব্যবহারকারীদের ভুয়া অ্যান্টিভাইরাস কেনার জন্য অন্য ওয়েবসাইটে প্রবেশে বাধ্য করে। ফলে ব্যবহারকারীরা নিজেদের অজান্তেই এ সময় ভুয়া অ্যান্টিভাইরাস ডাউনলোড করেছেন। কাসপারেস্কি জানিয়েছে, â€˜তৃতীয় পক্ষের অ্যাপ্লিকেশনâ€™-এর মাধ্যমে খুবই সূক্ষ্মভাবে হ্যাকাররা ওয়েবসাইটটিতে আক্রমণ চালিয়েছে। ভুয়া অ্যান্টিভাইরাস ডাউনলোড করেছেন এমন ব্যবহারকারীদের কম্পিউটারের নিরাপত্তা নিশ্চিত করতে আমাদের গবেষকরা সহায়তা করবেন।

Dear Ashiqbest012: Actually kaspersky develop anti virus. And they obviously don't use their antivirus for their website. Website hacking is an another process. Only antivirus can't protect the website. Website consists of Domain, Web Server, Web Application etc etc. So to protect the site you must keep secured your domain, your web server, your FTP server, Your Mail Server, Web Application. To protect most of the things from hacking antivirus can't play only one role. Antivirus can protect web server, FTP server but not all.

I think you believe that only employees of Kaspersky is not very much skilled, even there are many many people around the world , even who are unemployed they are also more skilled and may be. So hacking is not the hard work. Even Twitter, Facebook face spamming, hacking also. So it's not the right that Kaspersky's website will not be hacked.

Hacking can be done in many ways. Strong web programmer can detect and protect their web application only. Antivirus don't check the script. Brute Force attack, dictionary attack, DoS (Danial of Service) attack can not be protected with any antivirus. And these kinds of attack occurs regularly.

Thanks for your wonderful and informative post.

Thanks
