Miley Cyrus Hacker Raided by FBI

Holly (aka TrainReq) who allegedly uploaded pictures of 15-year-old Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus onto the net was raided by the FBI on Monday.

The Agents carried away three computers and a mobile phone for forensic examination after raiding the Murfreesboro, Tennessee, home of Josh Holly. The 19-year-old allegedly boasted online that he'd broken into the star's Gmail account and downloaded suggestive pictures, which reportedly included pictures of the underage star "posing provocatively".


According to the register he reportedly admitted breaking into Cyrus's webmail account and the star's webmail page, which shared the same password, after successfully accessing the star's MySpace control panel. He allegedly boasted about his exploit in interviews with bloggers and other interested parties, Wired reports, claiming that he used social engineering trickery to gain access to the MySpace admin panel.


Josh H., claims he was able to gain administrative access to MySpace systems after posing as a admin buddy of another administrator, and requesting login credentials via IM messages. The hacker allegedly gained free run of MySpace's systems for 16 hours until MySpace realised something was wrong and revoked the compromised login credentials.

Al Arabiya website hacked

Al Arabiya, the Dubai-based pan-Arab television station said its website had been hacked, according to a report.
The hacked website,
alarabiya.net, displayed an Israeli flag set on fire and a statement that read: 'Serious warning: If attacks on Shia websites continue, none of your websites will be safe,' according to the Emirates Business report.
'Hackers seized Al Arabiya's domain shortly after midnight through a security loophole in the domain. They claim to be Shias but there is no proof of that,' Anas Fouda, editorial manager of the website, was quoted as saying in the report.
Some websites claimed that Dubai Media City had warned Al Arabiya to ensure its news content did not cause tensions among different Muslim groups.

Im using adsense along with infolinks in this blog. I did not customise the default script for infolinks as it can be easily distinguished from other links. I havent encountered any issues as yet. I find it really cool. I think the reports for infolinks are not live. But since its in the initial stage, moving forward infolinks will definately add more features like referral programs and other things.

Kevin Poulsen was among the most accomplished, multi-talented hackers. He worked for SRI International by day, and hacked at night under the handle "Dark Dante". He trained to be the complete hacker, and even taught himself lock picking.
Among other things, Poulsen reactivated old Yellow Page escort telephone numbers for an acquaintance that then ran a virtual agency. When the FBI started pursuing Poulsen, he went underground as a fugitive. When he was featured on NBC's Unsolved Mysteries, the show's 1-800 telephone lines mysteriously crashed. He was finally arrested in February, 1995.
Poulsen's best known hack was a takeover of all of the telephone lines for Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM, guaranteeing that he would be the 102nd caller, and winning a Porsche 944 S2.
In June 1994, Poulsen pleaded guilty to seven counts of mail, wire and computer fraud, money laundering, and obstruction of justice, and was sentenced to 51 months in prison and ordered to pay $56,000 in restitution. It was the longest sentence ever given for hacking up to that time. He also later pleaded guilty to breaking into computers and obtaining information on undercover businesses run by the FBI.

On July 26, 1989, Robert Morris was indicted for spreading the Internet’s first worm virus, infecting more than 6,000 university, research center and military computers. Robert Tappan Morris was a Harvard graduate and a graduate student at Cornell when he developed the first widely spread Internet virus, and the first “worm” virus. He developed the worm to “gauge the size of the Internet,” but it ended up spreading through a network of 60,000 computers, infecting 6,000 of them. His worm traveled across Arpanet, the precursor to today’s Internet, and infected machines at universities, research centers and military installations. Ironically, Morris’s father was the chief technology scientist for the National Security Agency at the time.Once discovered, Morris was the first person indicted for Internet hacking under the 1986 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Morris was found guilty in 1990 and sentenced to 400 hours of community service and three years’ probation, and fined $10,050.
