Vodafone.com, Betfair.com, Telegraph.co.uk, Acer.com, UPS.com, Nationalgeographic.com and Theregister.co.uk were all defaced by the hacking group last night via SQL injection. More here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14786524

This was the same group that defaced IDNETTERS I believe.
Damned, if you do damned if you don't

Ah, that would be why I couldn't get on the register this morning. Its not good that there are so many companies which haven't got appropriate defences against attacks of this or any kind.

I wondered the same thing Lance,bit embarrassing as the Register is a online magazine about the online world and security and all things computerish in general. Saying that all of them should have been better defended against this as you said.

You have to remember that the websites themselves weren't touched in any way so it's a bit unfair to suggest they themselves should have been more prepared.

It seems the fault lies with NetNames and Ascio where the DNS entries were compromised.

Thats true actually NBT will be making some kind of statement later today it seems, I guess its just easy to trust the professional, as thats why you hired them. So does that mean IDNet were responsible for not being patched against this when netters was hit?

Seems to be the Netnames division of Group NBT that were targetted

El Reg have updated the story with a statement http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/05/dns_hijack_service_updated/
