Symantec Responds To Web Defacement Challenge
Symantec Responds To Web Defacement Challenge
Symantec
Security Response is tracking for any unusual activities
through Symantec's Security Operation Centers and its
Symantec DeepSight Threat Management System in response to a
Web defacement challenge issued by a hacker's group and
loosely coordinated to take place on Monday July 7 (US July
6, which is the US Independence Day holiday weekend). The
challenge aims to award the first individual or group to
deface 6,000 Web sites within a six-hour period of
time.
Currently, Symantec is not seeing any unusual
activities, but will continue to monitor over the weekend.
Regardless of the challenge, the threat is no bigger today
than it was yesterday. To stay protected against the latest
threats, Symantec Security Response strongly encourages
enterprises to protect themselves by deploying multi-tier
protection at the gateway, server and desktop. Enterprises
and consumers should incorporate integrated security that
includes antivirus, firewall and intrusion
detection.
